Conduct a couple of Poles into piece of land (8)
I believe the answer is:
transact
'conduct' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'a couple of poles into piece of land' is the wordplay.
'a couple of poles' becomes 'ans' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'into' is an insertion indicator.
'piece of land' becomes 'tract' (synonyms).
'ans' going within 'tract' is 'TRANSACT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for transact that I've seen before include "Conduct business, negotiate" , "Carry out, like business" , "Conduct trade" , "Manage" , "Deal with" .)
