Hard drink turned up in market (4)
I believe the answer is:
push
'market' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'hard drink turned up' is the wordplay.
'hard' becomes 'h' (abbreviation used in pencil classifications).
'drink' becomes 'sup' (to sup is to drink).
'turned up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'h'+'sup'='hsup'
'hsup' in reverse letter order is 'PUSH'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for push that I've seen before include "Illegally supply" , "Try to sell" , "Strongly promote" , "Move by exerting force" , "Propel forwards" .)
