Suggests involving a politician in arranging sport (7)
I believe the answer is:
prompts
'suggests' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'a politician in arranging sport' is the wordplay.
'a politician' becomes 'MP' (Member of Parliament).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'arranging' indicates anagramming the letters.
'sport' with letters rearranged gives 'prots'.
'mp' going within 'prots' is 'PROMPTS'.
'involving' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for prompts that I've seen before include "Gives hint to forgetful actor (7)" , "Hints for forgetful actors" , "Assists actor by giving forgotten words" , "Performer's cues" .)
