Help things to grow wild in the forest (6)
I believe the answer is:
foster
'help' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'to grow wild in the forest' is the wordplay.
'forest' anagrams to 'FOSTER'.
But, I am not clear how this is indicated.
'things' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for foster that I've seen before include "Promote, nurture" , "Promote, cherish" , "Promote growth and development of, say child" , "Look after" , "Nurture, bring up" .)
