Noises from department store bog (4)
I believe the answer is:
mire
This could be a double definition.
'noises from department store' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'bog' is the second definition.
(I know that mire is a type of bog)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mire that I've seen before include "Bog down in swamp" , "Emir found in mud" , "Deep soft mud" , "Cause to get stuck (in soft mud?)" , "Marsh" .)
