Make the most of this feat (7)
I believe the answer is:
exploit
I believe this is a double definition.
'make the most of' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'feat' is the second definition.
(I know that feat can be written as exploit)
'this' is the link.
(Other definitions for exploit that I've seen before include "The deed to make gain from" , "Bold and daring feat" , "put to good use" , "Make use of - great deed" , "Daring feat; use unfairly" .)
