Steer clear of English plant audible around church (6)
I believe the answer is:
eschew
'steer clear of' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'english plant audible around church' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'english' could be 'e' (abbreviation) and 'e' is found in the answer.
'around' could be 'c' (abbreviation for 'circa') and 'c' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'shew' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eschew that I've seen before include "Steer clear of" , "'Avoid, stay away from (6)'" , "'Avoid, keep away from (6)'" , "Ignore" , "Avoid,shun" .)
