Many have left home to work on the land (3)
I believe the answer is:
hoe
'many have' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with creating things as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'left home to work on the land' is the wordplay.
'left' is a reversal indicator.
'home' becomes 'H' (abbreviation as used in sports fixtures).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'work on the land' becomes 'eo' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'h' after 'eo' is 'eoh'.
'eoh' written backwards gives 'HOE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hoe that I've seen before include "Garden implement" , "Gardening tool" , "Plymouth - -" , "Use garden tool" , "gardening implement" .)
