Send down notes, to me indirectly (6)
I believe the answer is:
demote
'send down' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'notes to me indirectly' is the wordplay.
'notes' becomes 'de' (two musical notes).
'to me indirectly' becomes 'mote' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'de'+'mote'='DEMOTE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for demote that I've seen before include "Put down in rank" , "Downgrade" , "Relegate" , "Move to lower status" , "Move down in rank" .)
