Concern to get in first? (9)
I believe the answer is:
preoccupy
'concern' is the definition.
(preoccupying is a kind of concerning)
'to get in first?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'to get' could be 're' (I've seen this in other clues) and 're' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for preoccupy that I've seen is " Fixate".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
