<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">make advances</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for lend that I've seen before include "Give (a quality) to" , "Let someone borrow" , "Give temporarily" , "Impart" , "Supply (money) at interest" .)
