Recovers lost ground when one rebukes (5,2)
I believe the answer is:
pulls up
This might be a double definition.
'recovers' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'lost ground when one rebukes' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I don't understand how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
