Lead astray (9)
'lead astray' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for seduce that I've seen before include "Win over" , "Lure or entice away from proper behaviour" , "Beguile" , "Lead astray, corrupt" , "Charm - deprave" .)
'lead astray' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'lead' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'lead' could be 'go' (synonyms) and 'go' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for misgovern that I've seen before include "Rule badly" , "rule unfairly" , "run badly" .)
