Bends down (6)
I believe the answer is:
stoops
'bends down' is the definition.
('stoop' can be a synonym of 'bend down')
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for stoops that I've seen before include "Goldsmith play 'She ...... to Conquer'" , "Condescends" , "Bends over" , "Descends steeply (of a bird of prey)" .)
