'show' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with perception as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'up to lure out of laundrette' is the wordplay.
'up' indicates an anagram.
'out of' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'laundrette' with 'lure' taken away is 'andtte'.
'andtte' is an anagram of 'ATTEND'.

Can you help me to learn more?
