A clever rhyme for `icut^i (5)
I believe the answer is:
sever
'a clever rhyme' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I can't understand how one could define the other.
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sever that I've seen before include "Cleave" , "Disconnect" , "Divide, cut" , "Cut apart, maybe a relationship" , "Cut completely" .)
