Tenants denied outside access (5)
I believe the answer is:
enter
'access' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for enter that I've seen before include "Pierce" , "put in for a race" , "Come in - register" , "Enlist, join up" , "Infiltrate" .)
