Care for vole as mate becomes tame (4)
I believe the answer is:
love
'care for' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'vole as mate becomes tame' is the wordplay.
'vole' can be anagrammed to 'LOVE'.
Though, I'm unsure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for love that I've seen before include "Passion" , "angel" , "Zero (tennis) four Dn" , "Fondness" , "See 23" .)
