'put' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I don't see how one could define the other.

'two and two together' is the wordplay.
'two' becomes 'pair' (pair is a kind of two).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'two together' becomes 'off' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'pair'+'off'='PAIR OFF'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pair off that I've seen before include "Form couples" , "Form a couple" , "match" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
