Give some bribes to warden (6)
I believe the answer is:
bestow
'give' is the definition.
(bestowing is a kind of giving)
'some bribes to warden' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'BESTOW' is hidden in the letters of 'bribes to warden'.
(Other definitions for bestow that I've seen before include "Confer (an honour)" , "Present, donate" , "Confer - impart" , "'Confer, present (6)'" , "Confer or award" .)
