Produce notes making separate contributions to new degree (8)
I believe the answer is:
engender
'produce' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'notes making separate contributions to new degree' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'notes' could be 'ge' and 'ge' is located in the answer.
'new' could be 'n' (abbreviation as in New Testament NT) and 'n' is found within the answer.
'degree' could be 'd' (abbreviation for the degree in measuring angles) and 'd' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for engender that I've seen before include "Produce or cause, emotions say" , "Father" , "Ned Green could breed" , "Give rise to (something)" , "Bring forth" .)
