Pretends, when one slips into (4,2)
I believe the answer is:
puts on
'pretends' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for puts on that I've seen is " Dons".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
