Is put among the others to give opposition (6)
I believe the answer is:
resist
'among the others to give opposition' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'is put' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'is' is within the answer.
'put' could be 'rest' (resting is a kind of putting) and 'rest' is found in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for resist that I've seen before include "Put up opposition, defy" , "Bar" , "Forgo" , "Take stand against, oppose" , "Oppose or fight against someone" .)
