Spurs on wild beast (5)
I believe the answer is:
abets
'spurs' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'wild beast' is the wordplay.
'wild' indicates an anagram.
'beast' with letters rearranged gives 'ABETS'.
'on' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for abets that I've seen before include "Helps (someone to commit crime)" , "Aids and encourages" , "Assists dealer, say" , "Assists in crime" , "Assists or encourages" .)
