Seek names, perhaps, and be meaningful (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
make sense
'be meaningful' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'seek names perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates an anagram.
'seek'+'names'='seeknames'
'seeknames' anagrammed gives 'MAKE SENSE'.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for make sense that I've seen before include "Add up" , "Slaughterhouse" , "Be rational" , "Be understandable or practicable - it's logical" , "Be intelligible" .)
