Make empty container with beginners, embellishing all the edges (6)
I believe the answer is:
create
'make' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'empty container with beginners embellishing all the edges' is the wordplay.
'empty' suggests removing the centre.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'beginners' says to take the initial letters.
'edges' means to remove the middle letters (I've seen 'edging' mean this (edging means the letters on the edges)).
'container' with its centre taken out is 'cr'.
'the' with its middle taken out is 'te'.
The first letters of 'embellishing all' is 'ea'.
'cr'+'ea'+'te'='CREATE'
(Other definitions for create that I've seen before include "Make, generate" , "Make or invent" , "Make, Porduce" , "Come up with" , "Compose" .)
