Contract that could make ferry operator redundant? (7)
I believe the answer is:
abridge
'contract' 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 abridge that I've seen before include "Make shorter, book say" , "(US) cattle-pen" , "Condense, summarise" , "Shorten (eg, text)" , "Crop" .)
