Persuade to copy what's in sight (6)
I believe the answer is:
incite
'persuade' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'copy what's in sight' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'in' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'cite' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for incite that I've seen before include "Goad" , "Foment, urge on" , "Move to action" , "Prompt" , "Provoke - stimulate" .)
