Make a statement, for example (3)
I believe the answer is:
say
'for example' is the definition.
('say' can be used to introduce an example)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for say that I've seen before include "Tell" , "Express in words" , "Utter words" , "Utter, recite" , "Articulate" .)
