Put together grooming aid in east (7)
I believe the answer is:
combine
'put together' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'grooming aid in east' is the wordplay.
'grooming aid' becomes 'comb' (I've seen this in another clue).
'east' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'comb'+'in'+'e'='COMBINE'
(Other definitions for combine that I've seen before include "marry" , "Blend" , "alloy" , "Association" , "Unite; some farm machinery" .)
