Gets rid of Tintin? (4)
I believe the answer is:
cans
'gets' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to change as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cans that I've seen before include "Headphones" , "Tins" , "Metal containers" .)
