Look after dilapidated vehicle going round sharp bend, perhaps (6)
I believe the answer is:
curate
'look after' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'dilapidated vehicle going round sharp bend perhaps' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'bend' could be 'u' (a U-bend is a kind of bend - pipe under sink) and 'u' is present in the answer.
'vehicle' could be 'crate' (I have seen 'Dilapidated vehicle ' mean 'crate' so perhaps 'vehicle' could also mean 'crate') and 'crate' is found in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for curate that I've seen before include "Organize a museum or exhibition" , "Assistant cleric" , "Clergyman assisting a vicar" , "assistant barman in Ireland" , "assistant rector" .)
