Help one to rest in a seated position (6)
I believe the answer is:
sedate
'help' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to bodily activities as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'one to rest in a seated position' is the wordplay.
'seated' can be anagrammed to 'SEDATE'.
But, I am not clear how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sedate that I've seen before include "Leisurely" , "Seated strangely in a demure sort of way" , "Placid" , "Calm, unhurried" , "not disturbed by passion or excitement?" .)
