Prime forge? (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
make ready
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'prime' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'forge?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for make ready that I've seen before include "Printer's process" , "forge?" , "produce bank-notes?" , "Prepare for action" .)
