Detail again what king does about fool (8)
I believe the answer is:
reassign
'about fool' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'detail again what king' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'detail' could be 'assign' (I've seen this before) and 'assign' is found in the answer.
'again' could be 're' (prefix meaning 'again') and 're' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'does' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reassign that I've seen before include "change duties" , "Once again select" , "Move somebody to a different position" , "Allocate again" , "put to further use" .)
