Strange reduction in present (9)
I believe the answer is:
introduce
'present' is the definition.
(I know that present can be written as introduce)
'strange reduction' is the wordplay.
'strange' indicates anagramming the letters.
'reduction' anagrammed gives 'INTRODUCE'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for introduce that I've seen before include "Launch" , "To add" , "Bring into practice - reduction (anag)" , "Inaugurate, initiate" , "Present, make known" .)
