grant

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'present' is the definition.
(grant can mean to present or give)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for grant that I've seen before include "Formally give (a right)" , "Permit" , "... Cambridgeshire village" , "yield" , "Give (a right, property, etc)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
