Face paying tribute to mind (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
look after
'mind' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'face paying tribute' is the wordplay.
'face' becomes 'look' (synonyms).
'paying tribute' becomes 'after' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'look'+'after'='LOOK AFTER'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for look after that I've seen before include "Watch over" , "Take care of" , "Tend" , "nurse" , "Supervise" .)
