Inclines towards nurses (5)
I believe the answer is:
tends
This could be a double definition.
'inclines' is the first definition.
('tend' can be a synonym of 'incline')
'nurses' is the second definition.
(to tend someone is to look after or nurse them)
'towards' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. It may belong to one of the definitions.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tends that I've seen before include "Inclines to take care of?" , "Shows an inclination" , "Inclines or looks after" , "Dresses" , "Leans" .)
