Think you’ll put back into captivity? (10)
I believe the answer is:
deliberate
'think' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for deliberate that I've seen before include "Carefully thought out" , "Consider - intentional" , "Meant" , "Purposeful" , "put on thinking cap" .)
