Infers yet draws to a close (9)
I believe the answer is:
concludes
'infers' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to thinking as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'draws to a close' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'close' could be 'on' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'on' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'yet' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
