Leave the land (3)
I believe the answer is:
ebb
This might be a double definition.
'leave' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with motion as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'land' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ebb that I've seen before include "Abate" , "Fall back" , "Tidal retreat" , "Outward flow of the tide" , "Tidal outflow" .)
