Care for vole as mate becomes tame (4)
I believe the answer is:
love
'care for' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'vole as mate becomes tame' is the wordplay.
'vole' can be anagrammed to 'LOVE'.
But, I am not clear how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for love that I've seen before include "Passion" , "angel" , "Zero (tennis) four Dn" , "Fondness" , "See 23" .)
