Put protective coat on cow I go out with (7)
I believe the answer is:
oxidate
'put protective coat on cow i go out with' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'on cow i go out with' is the wordplay.
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'cow' becomes 'ox'.
'go out with' becomes 'date' (synonyms).
'ox' next to 'i' is 'oxi'.
'oxi'+'date'='OXIDATE'
Can you help me to learn more?
