Daughter to lift round floor covering and make it sensational (9)
I believe the answer is:
dramatise
'make it sensational' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'daughter to lift round floor covering' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'to lift' becomes 'raise' (raising is a kind of lifting).
'round' is an insertion indicator.
'floor covering' becomes 'mat' (a mat is a floor covering).
'raise' going around 'mat' is 'ramatise'.
'd'+'ramatise'='DRAMATISE'
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dramatise that I've seen before include "Overstate" , "adapt for TV" , "Make out to be exciting or important" , "prepare for the stage" .)
