Boil bananas in wood for outlaw (7)
I believe the answer is:
abolish
'outlaw' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'boil bananas in wood' is the wordplay.
'bananas' indicates an anagram (informal term for mad).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'wood' becomes 'ash' (wood from an ash tree).
'boil' is an anagram of 'boli'.
'boli' placed within 'ash' is 'ABOLISH'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for abolish that I've seen before include "Put an end to, as with slavery" , "Nullify" , "Formally do away with" , "Annul - eradicate" , "Cancel or abrogate" .)
