Honour oldies serving unit at the front (7)
I believe the answer is:
idolise
'honour' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'oldies serving unit at the front' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'oldies' is 'dolise' which is located in the answer.
'unit' could be 'i' (synonyms) and 'i' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for idolise that I've seen before include "Hero-worship, revere" , "Revere (someone) greatly or excessively" , "Revere, love greatly" , "Worship and adore" , "Worship extravagantly" .)
