Put a stop to presidents ignoring priests (3)
I believe the answer is:
end
'put' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for end that I've seen before include "Unyielding" , "Limit" , "Intention" , "Extremity" , "SECOND PART OF 10" .)
