Beeches in disarray (7)
I believe the answer is:
beseech
'beeches in disarray' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'beeches in disarray' is the wordplay.
'in disarray' indicates anagramming the letters.
'beeches' anagrammed gives 'BESEECH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for beseech that I've seen before include "Request earnestly" , "Fervently ask (someone) for something" , "request, urgently" , "Sue" , "petition" .)
