Transfer profitable part of hotel to which the writer's going (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
hive off
'transfer' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hive off that I've seen before include "Sell" , "Divert assets" , "Separate (something) from larger group" .)
