Seem to have a change of direction? That could be it (6)
I believe the answer is:
appeal
This clue could be a double definition.
'seem' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'a change of direction? that could be it' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'to have' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for appeal that I've seen before include "Take case to higher court to challenge verdict" , "Urgent or formal request for help" , "Howzat!" , "Draw" , "Attraction, pleasantness" .)
