Criticises cooks (6)
I believe the answer is:
roasts
This could be a double definition.
'criticises' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'cooks' is the second definition.
(roasting is a kind of cooking)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for roasts that I've seen before include "Has a go at" , "traditional Sunday food" , "Cooks meat in oven" , "Cooks in dry heat" , "gets very hot" .)
