Fling trews around (5)
I believe the answer is:
strew
'fling' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'trews around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates anagramming the letters.
'trews' anagrammed gives 'STREW'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for strew that I've seen before include "Scatter loosely" , "Sprinkle" , "Scatter untidily" , "Scatter, spread around" .)
