Entertain model after do (11)
I believe the answer is:
contemplate
'entertain' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'model after do' is the wordplay.
'model' becomes 'template' (template is a kind of model**).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'do' becomes 'con'.
'template' put after 'con' is 'CONTEMPLATE'.
(Other definitions for contemplate that I've seen before include "Intend" , "Ruminate on" , "Ponder" , "Consider" , "Think seriously" .)
