Control disease, doctor refuses (14)
I believe the answer is:
reconsolidates
'refuses' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'control disease doctor' is the wordplay.
'doctor' indicates an anagram.
'control'+'disease'='controldisease'
'controldisease' with letters rearranged gives 'RECONSOLIDATES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
