Look after a grievance, say? (5)
I believe the answer is:
nurse
'look after' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nurse that I've seen before include "Tend - care for" , "Cherish" , "drink slowly" , "Qualified carer" , "care worker" .)
