Tell about, while scattering seed round the bed (8)
I believe the answer is:
describe
'tell about while' is the definition.
'describe' can be an answer for 'tell' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'about while' bit.
'scattering seed round the bed' is the wordplay.
'scattering' is an anagram indicator.
'round' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'the bed' becomes 'crib' (bed for a child).
'seed' anagrammed gives 'dese'.
'dese' placed around 'crib' is 'DESCRIBE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for describe that I've seen before include "Draw (figure); give account of" , "Depict" , "Say what something is like (8)" , "Illustrate" , "Report in detail" .)
