Maintains parts of castles (5)
I believe the answer is:
keeps
'maintains' is the definition.
('keep' can be a synonym of 'maintain')
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for keeps that I've seen before include "Stores" , "Retains" .)
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Mirror.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
