... coaches rakes, perhaps (6)
I believe the answer is:
trains
This clue could be a double definition.
'coaches' is the first definition.
('train' can be a synonym of 'coach')
'rakes perhaps' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I don't understand how they can define each other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for trains that I've seen before include "Aims; coaches" , "Prepares by practice for performance" , "They're drawn by locomotive" , "Prepares for competition" , "Pieces of cloth trailing from the backs of gowns" .)
