Juxtaposes (5)
I believe the answer is:
abuts
'juxtaposes' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for abuts that I've seen before include "Of building, is next to" , "Touches, leans on" , "Lies adjacent to another" , "borders" , "Ends or leans against" .)
