Suffer injuries - as invaders do? (4,2,4)
I believe the answer is:
come to harm
'suffer injuries as invaders' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'do?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'do?' could be 'come' ('come' can be a synonym of 'do') and 'come' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
