Develop good argument (4)
I believe the answer is:
grow
'develop' is the definition.
(growing is a kind of developing)
'good argument' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'argument' becomes 'row' (I've seen this before).
'g'+'row'='GROW'
(Other definitions for grow that I've seen before include "Develop - propagate" , "Swell" , "Get bigger" , "Expand" , "Become bigger" .)
