Stop doing wrong? (6)
I believe the answer is:
arrest
This clue might be a double definition.
'stop' is the first definition.
(I know that stop can be written as arrest)
'doing wrong?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for arrest that I've seen before include "apprehend a law-breaker" , "Seize (a crime suspect)" , "Cause to stop" , "Collar" , "Nab" .)
