Conan has book out - relish wanting central character to find the right direction (9)
I believe the answer is:
orientate
'find the right direction' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'conan has book out relish wanting central character' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'book' could be 'nt' (New Testament) and 'nt' is found within the answer.
'character' could be 't' and 't' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orientate that I've seen before include "Give direction to" , "Become accustomed to new situation" , "leave the West implicitly?" , "Adjust" , "Fix position" .)
