I believe the answer is:

encase

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

'do' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for encase that I've seen before include "Cover completely" , "Enclose, cover" , "Frame" , "Wrap" , "Cover with close-fitting surround" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
