I for one put in assets regularly, making investments (6)
I believe the answer is:
sieges
'investments' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'i for one put in assets regularly' is the wordplay.
'for one' becomes 'eg' (I've seen this in other clues).
'put in' is an insertion indicator.
'regularly' means one should take alternating letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
The alternate letters of 'assets' are 'ses'.
'i'+'eg'='ieg'
'ieg' put inside 'ses' is 'SIEGES'.
'making' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sieges that I've seen before include "Persistent attacks on fortied places" , "army investments" , "Military actions of isolation and attack" , "military blockades" , "Persistent attacks on fortified places" .)
