Jolt as vehicle is caught in high wind (9)
I believe the answer is:
galvanise
'jolt' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'vehicle is caught in high wind' is the wordplay.
'vehicle' becomes 'van' (van is a kind of vehicle).
'caught in' indicates putting letters inside.
'high wind' becomes 'gale' (I've seen this in another clue).
'van'+'is'='vanis'
'vanis' going within 'gale' is 'GALVANISE'.
'as' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for galvanise that I've seen before include "Excite" , "subject to action of electric current" , "Electrify" .)
