Make aware of article about vigil (6)
I believe the answer is:
awaken
'make aware' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'article about vigil' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'vigil' becomes 'wake' (wake is a kind of vigil).
'an' placed around 'wake' is 'AWAKEN'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for awaken that I've seen before include "Rouse (a feeling)" , "Emerge from sleep" , "Cause to remember" , "Call forth" , "Arouse" .)
