Condescend, broadcasting Hans Anderson perhaps (5)
I believe the answer is:
deign
'condescend' is the definition.
(synonyms)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for deign that I've seen before include "consent" , "See fit" , "Condescend; stoop" , "Think fit" , "Lower oneself" .)
