Transplants transported to us (7)
I believe the answer is:
uproots
'transplants' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for uproots that I've seen before include "Displaces -- or put so (anag)" , "Completely destroys" , "Pulls (a plant) out of the ground" , "Tears from natural habitat or ground" , "Eradicates" .)
