With the tree bare, stops (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
leaves off
'stops' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for leaves off that I've seen is " Desists; what happens now to 1ac trees?".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
