Climb up to see what they might do with their eggs (8)
I believe the answer is:
scramble
'climb' is the definition.
(I know that scramble is a more specific form of climb)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scramble that I've seen before include "Take off immediately" , "motocross" , "Make jumbled" , "Motorcycle race over rough ground" , "emergency take-off" .)
