Financing novel “Gone with wind”? (8)
I believe the answer is:
endowing
'financing' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with ownership as well as being present participle verbs.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'novel gone with wind?' is the wordplay.
'novel' is an anagram indicator.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'gone' after 'wind' is 'windgone'.
'windgone' is an anagram of 'ENDOWING'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for endowing that I've seen before include "Presenting" , "Making donations" .)
