clears

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'disentangles' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'clare's confusion' is the wordplay.
'confusion' indicates an anagram.
'clares' with letters rearranged gives 'CLEARS'.

Can you help me to learn more?
