You’ll admit there’s nothing in demolishing a wall (5)
I believe the answer is:
allow
'wall' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I don't understand how they can define each other.
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for allow that I've seen before include "Tolerate" , "Give permission to" , "Acknowledge - concede" , "Admit as acceptable" , "praise no more" .)
