Confesses and gives access (6)
I believe the answer is:
admits
'confesses' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for admits that I've seen before include "Lets in and confesses" , "grants us access" , "Takes in" , "Agrees to the truth of something" , "Does not deny" .)
