Puts forward large packaging deal (6)
I believe the answer is:
opines
'puts forward' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'large packaging deal' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'deal' could be 'pine' (deal can mean wood for building with eg pine) and 'pine' is found within the answer.
'large' could be 'os' and 'os' is located in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for opines that I've seen before include "'Supposes, considers (6)'" , "Gives a view" , "Expresses one's view" , "Offers views" , "Provides a view" .)
