Bolts entrance to storehouse after derisory comment (6)
I believe the answer is:
scoffs
'bolts' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I don't see how they can define each other.
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scoffs that I've seen before include "Mocks, derides" , "Ridicules or eats slangily" , "Ridicules - or drinks quickly" , "Derides or drinks slangily" , "Mocks - eats" .)
