Acknowledge actor's gift (5)
I believe the answer is:
grant
This clue could be a double definition.
'acknowledge' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'actor's gift' is the second definition.
'grant' can be an answer for 'gift' (grant is a kind of gift). I'm not sure about the 'actor's' bit.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for grant that I've seen before include "Bestow - Ulysses S. - Cary" , "cash allowance?" , "support for education" , "19th century president" , "Confer" .)
