Condescend to keep out of circulation? (5)
I believe the answer is:
stoop
'condescend' is the definition.
(I know that condescend can be written as stoop)
'keep out of circulation?' is the wordplay.
'keep' becomes 'stow' (I've seen this before).
'out' means to remove the last letter.
'of circulation?' becomes 'op' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'stow' with its last letter taken away is 'sto'.
'sto'+'op'='STOOP'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stoop that I've seen before include "Bow or bend" , "Bend the top half of the body" , "dive" , "Lower one's standards" , "go on a bender?" .)
