Harry gave me £1 (4)
I believe the answer is:
lime
'harry' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I can't see how they can define each other.
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lime that I've seen before include "Another name for the linden tree" , "Having no money" , "Caustic calcium" , "Kind of tree or substance used in cement" , "Acidic citrus fruit" .)
