inseparable

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

'inextricably linked' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives can occasionally define each other.

'doctor enables pair' is the wordplay.
'doctor' indicates anagramming the letters.
'enables'+'pair'='enablespair'
'enablespair' anagrammed gives 'INSEPARABLE'.

'to get' is the link.

(Other definitions for inseparable that I've seen before include "Very friendly, close" , "Devoted" .)
