Obtain a licence to kill? (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
take out
This might be a double definition.
'obtain a licence' is the first definition.
'take out' can be an answer for 'obtain' (taking out is a kind of obtaining). I am not sure about the 'a licence' bit.
'kill?' is the second definition.
(killing is a kind of taking out)
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for take out that I've seen before include "Kill (colloq.)" , "Remove; escort" , "kebab, perhaps" , "Extract; kill" , "As gangster, kill" .)
