Engineers giving out new spread (14)
I believe the answer is:
redistribution
'out new spread' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'engineers' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'engineers' could be 're' (Royal Engineers) and 're' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'distribution' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'giving' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for redistribution that I've seen is " Act of modifying shares".)
