Embark? Nice one! (3,2)
I believe the answer is:
get in
'embark?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with motion as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for get in that I've seen before include "secure access" , "Effect entrance (3,.2)" , "Enter" .)
