‘Do own up; set forth mistake’, she insists (4,3,4,4)
I believe the answer is:
puts her foot down
'she insists' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'do own up set forth mistake' is the wordplay.
'mistake' indicates an anagram.
'do'+'own'+'up'+'set'+'forth'='doownupsetforth'
'doownupsetforth' anagrammed gives 'PUTS HER FOOT DOWN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
