Come across as a new talent (4)
I believe the answer is:
find
This could be a double definition.
'come across' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'a new talent' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to thinking as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'as' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for find that I've seen before include "Locate or discover" , "Come across" , "Encounter, locate" , "Discovery" , "Discover by chance" .)
