Two ways to break in (5)
I believe the answer is:
stave
'break in' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to change as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'two ways' is the wordplay.
'two ways' means two replacements for 'way'.
'way' becomes 'st' (abbreviation for street).
'way' becomes 'ave' (abbreviation for avenue, a type of 'way').
'st'+'ave'='STAVE'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stave that I've seen before include "Strip of wood" , "System of five horizontal lines in written music" , "Musical staff" , "Part of a wooden barrel" , "Stanza of a poem" .)
