Can use spoon (4)
I believe the answer is:
stir
This might be a double definition.
'can' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'use spoon' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stir that I've seen before include "Move around and mix thoroughly" , "Excitement" , "can > go forth" , "Cause trouble" , "riot" .)
