To make a buzzer loud, takes power (4)
I believe the answer is:
beef
'to make' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'a buzzer loud takes power' is the wordplay.
'a' becomes 'amp' (A is the symbol for the amp or ampere).
'buzzer' becomes 'bee' (something that buzzes).
'loud' becomes 'f' (short for forte - 'loud' in music).
'takes' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'power' becomes 'amp'.
'amp'+'bee'+'f'='ampbeef'
'ampbeef' with 'amp' removed is 'BEEF'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for beef that I've seen before include "it's unacceptable for vegetarian" , "Brawn; complaint" , "Complaint; strength" , "Argument" , "Brawn; grumble" .)
