Rouses and impregnates (6,2)
I believe the answer is:
knocks up
This clue could be a double definition.
'rouses' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I can't see how they can define each other.
'impregnates' is the second definition.
('knock up' can be a synonym of 'impregnate')
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
