Teach, in a way, to start ructions (8)
I believe the answer is:
instruct
'teach' is the definition.
(I know that teach can be written as instruct)
'in a way to start ructions' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
'way' could be 'st' (abbreviation for street) and 'st' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for instruct that I've seen before include "Teach or give orders to" , "Coach" , "Impart skills or knowledge to" , "Direct; teach" , "Inform or authorise" .)
