Give a word for owned-up (5)
I believe the answer is:
endow
'give a word' is the definition.
'endow' can be an answer for 'give' (endow can mean to give or bestow). I'm not sure about the 'a word' bit.
'owned-up' is the wordplay.
'up' indicates anagramming the letters (letters get chucked up).
'owned' is an anagram of 'ENDOW'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for endow that I've seen before include "Provide with a permanent income - perhaps a college" , "Provide with a permanent income, say a school" , "Bestow" , "provide permanent finance for ..." , "Give money to" .)
