I believe the answer is:

perpetrate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'commit' is the definition.
(I know that commit can be written as perpetrate)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for perpetrate that I've seen before include "Commit (a bad action)" , "Carry out, commit" , "perform" , "Commit (crime)" , "Be responsible for" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
