Save uniform for one to steal fruit (6)
I believe the answer is:
scrump
'save' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are verbs in their base form.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scrump that I've seen before include "Nick in garden" , "steal from farmer" , "Nick apples" , "swipe them?" , "theft" .)
