Make sure to help keep the neighbourhood safe (5)
I believe the answer is:
watch
This clue might be a double definition.
'make sure' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'keep the neighbourhood safe' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'to help' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for watch that I've seen before include "Vigil" , "Timepiece - look out" , "Keep under observation" , "View" , "period of duty" .)
