Psychiatrist stole package (10)
I believe the answer is:
shrinkwrap
'package' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'psychiatrist stole' is the wordplay.
'psychiatrist' becomes 'shrink' (informal term for a psychiatrist).
'stole' becomes 'wrap' (stole can mean a shawl or wrap).
'shrink'+'wrap'='SHRINKWRAP'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
