Pointing an umpire out? (9)
I believe the answer is:
referring
'pointing' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with motion as well as being present participle verbs.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'umpire out?' is the wordplay.
'umpire' becomes 'ref' (short for referee).
'out?' becomes 'erring' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ref'+'erring'='REFERRING'
'an' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for referring that I've seen before include "Consulting" , "Alluding, bringing up" , "Adverting" , "Pertaining, relating" , "Directing for information or having relation to" .)
