Give cheat praise (10)
I believe the answer is:
contribute
'give' is the definition.
(contributing is a kind of giving)
'cheat praise' is the wordplay.
'cheat' becomes 'con' (con is a kind of cheat).
'praise' becomes 'tribute'.
'con'+'tribute'='CONTRIBUTE'
(Other definitions for contribute that I've seen before include "Be partly responsible for" , "pay" , "Give (for a common purpose)" , "Donate" , "Furnish" .)
