Dismiss exhaust (3,3)
I believe the answer is:
run out
This clue could be a double definition.
'dismiss' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'exhaust' is the second definition.
(I know that run out is a kind of exhaust)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for run out that I've seen before include "Dismissed (at cricket)" , "Come to an end" , "Dismissed while attempting to sprint between the wickets" , "Dismissed by a fielder" , "being dismissed by umpire" .)
