Make little of (8)
I believe the answer is:
condense
'make' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to change as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for condense that I've seen before include "Change from vapour to liquid" , "Reduce volume" , "precis" , "cut down" , "Abbreviate" .)
