Makes a secret assignation (7)
I believe the answer is:
creates
'makes a secret assignation' is the definition.
'creates' can be an answer for 'makes' ('create' can be a synonym of 'make'). I'm unsure of the 'a secret assignation' bit.
'makes a secret' is the wordplay.
'makes' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'secret'='asecret'
'asecret' anagrammed gives 'CREATES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for creates that I've seen before include "Produces" , "Complains" , "Makes" , "Generates" , "Brings into existence" .)
