Agree to work in a funeral parlour? (9)
I believe the answer is:
undertake
'agree to' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'work in a funeral parlour?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'work' could be 'take' (taking is a kind of working) and 'take' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'under' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for undertake that I've seen before include "drive dangerously?" , "Try" , "Commit oneself to (a task)" , "Conduct funerals" , "Attempt to perform" .)
