Educate form in hours (7)
I believe the answer is:
nourish
'educate' 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.
'form in hours' is the wordplay.
'form' indicates anagramming the letters (a different form of the same letters).
'in'+'hours'='inhours'
'inhours' is an anagram of 'NOURISH'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nourish that I've seen before include "Feed and foster" , "encourage growth" , "Feed, sustain" , "Foster or cherish, often with food" , "Provide with sustenance for growth" .)
