Tolerates Burns? (6)
I believe the answer is:
brooks
This might be a double definition.
'tolerates' is the first definition.
('brook' can be a synonym of 'tolerate')
'burns?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I can't see how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for brooks that I've seen before include "Former editor" , "Countenances" , "Small streams of water" .)
