Get around or above it at sea (7)
I believe the answer is:
obviate
'get around' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'above it at sea' is the wordplay.
'at sea' is an anagram indicator.
'above'+'it'='aboveit'
'aboveit' anagrammed gives 'OBVIATE'.
'or' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for obviate that I've seen before include "Make unnecessary" , "Preclude" , "Remove (a need or difficulty)" , "Get round inconvenience - get above it" , "Anticipate" .)
