See fit to communicate (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cable

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'communicate' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'see fit' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'c' (the word for the letter, according to Chambers).
'fit' becomes 'able' ('able' can be similar in meaning to 'fit'**).
'c'+'able'='CABLE'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cable that I've seen before include "Wire, flex" , "Strong line" , "Telegram; thick rope" , "Conductor for transmitting electric power" , "Rope; message" .)
