Makes a wry face, giving me cigars (8)
I believe the answer is:
grimaces
'makes a wry face' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'giving me cigars' is the wordplay.
'giving' is an anagram indicator (the letters give the letters for another word).
'me'+'cigars'='mecigars'
'mecigars' anagrammed gives 'GRIMACES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for grimaces that I've seen before include "Facial distortions of distaste" , "Contorted facial expressions" , "Makes wry expression" , "threatening features" , "Twisted expressions" .)
