Consider change to script that bores friend (8)
I believe the answer is:
meditate
'consider' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'change to script that bores friend' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'change' could be 'edit' (edit can mean to change or alter) and 'edit' is present in the answer.
'friend' could be 'mate' (mate is a kind of friend) and 'mate' is located in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for meditate that I've seen before include "Think deeply and quietly" , "Think contemplatively" , "Cogitate" , "Relax mentally" , "Engage in contemplation" .)
