Indirectly incriminate Pam and elicit chaos (9)
I believe the answer is:
implicate
'indirectly incriminate' is the definition.
'implicate' can be an answer for 'incriminate' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'indirectly' bit.
'pam and elicit chaos' is the wordplay.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'chaos' is an anagram indicator.
'pam' put after 'elicit' is 'elicitpam'.
'elicitpam' anagrammed gives 'IMPLICATE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for implicate that I've seen before include "Grass up" , "Involve in a crime, give evidence accordingly" , "Suggest someone else is involved in your crime" , "Suggest someone is involved or took part in a crime" , "Involve in a crime, ensnare" .)
