Mean to silence a musician? (6)
I believe the answer is:
denote
'mean' is the definition.
(I know this)
'silence a musician?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'musician?' could be 'eno' (I've seen this before) and 'eno' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for denote that I've seen before include "show" , "Need to (anag) - indicate" , "Designate" , "Point" , "Be an indication of" .)
