Form of decoration in the forces perhaps (6)
I believe the answer is:
fresco
'form of decoration in' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with creating things as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'forces perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' is an anagram indicator.
'forces' is an anagram of 'FRESCO'.
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fresco that I've seen before include "Work of art" , "Wall-painting" , "Method of painting on walls" , "Picture painted on wall or ceiling before plaster is dry" , "Mode of wall painting" .)
