Proceeds to give the answers (7)
I believe the answer is:
returns
'proceeds' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'give the answers' is the wordplay.
'give' becomes 'return' (returning is a kind of giving).
'the answers' becomes 's' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'return'+'s'='RETURNS'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for returns that I've seen before include "Throws made by cricketers" , "Tickets possibly available" , "Brings or comes back" , "profit" , "proceeds" .)
