Succeeds in arranging some cover (9)
I believe the answer is:
overcomes
'succeeds' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'arranging some cover' is the wordplay.
'arranging' is an anagram indicator.
'some'+'cover'='somecover'
'somecover' is an anagram of 'OVERCOMES'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for overcomes that I've seen before include "Wins victory against, defeats" , "Gets the better of, opponent or problem" .)
