Experience as you examine, one by one (2,7)
I believe the answer is:
go through
'experience' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'you examine one by one' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'you' could be 'u' (homophones) and 'u' is found within the answer.
'one' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is present in the answer.
'by' could be 'thro' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'thro' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'as' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for go through that I've seen before include "Use up - experience" , "Face" , "brave" , "be accepted" , "Suffer from" .)
