Pay for what bow and arrow do (5)
I believe the answer is:
endow
'pay for' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with ownership as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'bow and arrow do' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is present in the answer.
'do' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'what' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for endow that I've seen before include "Provide with a permanent income - perhaps a college" , "Bestow" , "Fund" , "Provide with an income, say a college" , "Settle permanent income on" .)
