debase

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

'drag down' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I don't see how one could define the other.

'see bad shot' is the wordplay.
'shot' indicates anagramming the letters.
'see'+'bad'='seebad'
'seebad' anagrammed gives 'DEBASE'.

'to' acts as a link.
