Victimise a vessel (3)
I believe the answer is:
mug
This clue might be a double definition.
'victimise' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'a vessel' is the second definition.
(I know that mug is a type of drinking vessel)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mug that I've seen before include "A person easily deceived, by gum" , "Beaker" , "Idiot" , "Charlie" , "In slang, a person easily deceived" .)
