One offering purse with fancy zip — her gift? (10)
I believe the answer is:
prizefight
'one offering purse' is the definition.
The definition and answer 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?
'fancy zip her gift?' is the wordplay.
'fancy' indicates anagramming the letters.
'zip'+'her'+'gift'='ziphergift'
'ziphergift' anagrammed gives 'PRIZEFIGHT'.
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for prizefight that I've seen before include "Professional boxing match" , "Old style boxing match for money" , "Public boxing-match for money" .)
