Gathers and puts the sheep to bed? (7)
I believe the answer is:
enfolds
'gathers' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for enfolds that I've seen before include "Wraps up, clasps" , "Swathes" .)
