Look for king buried under religious grounds (4)
I believe the answer is:
seek
'look for king buried under religious grounds' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'look for king buried under' is the wordplay.
'look' becomes 'see'.
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'king' becomes 'k' (abbreviation for king in chess).
'buried' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, some letters go beneath others).
'under' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'see'+'k'='SEEK'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for seek that I've seen before include "Try to locate or reach" , "Try to find" , "Attempt - search" , "Hunt, look for" , "Attempt to find; ask for" .)
