interpret

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'explain' is the definition.
(interpreting is a kind of explaining)

I cannot really see how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for interpret that I've seen before include "Translate, make sense of" , "Translate into another language" , "Translate, decode" , "Restate from one language into another" , "Explain the meaning of, perhaps a foreign language" .)
