Invite English to wait (4)
I believe the answer is:
bide
'wait' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'invite english' is the wordplay.
'invite' becomes 'bid' (synonyms).
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'bid'+'e'='BIDE'
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for bide that I've seen before include "Remain; await (time)" , "To - one's time is to wait for the right opportunity" , "Remain or stay (poetically)" , "Dwell, of old" , "Remain (archaic)" .)
