Mimic a departure (7)
I believe the answer is:
takeoff
This could be a double definition.
'mimic' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'a departure' is the second definition.
(I know that takeoff is a type of departure)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for takeoff that I've seen before include "do impersonation" , "Launch" , "Get up" .)
