Induces to make no deals (5,2)
I believe the answer is:
leads on
'deals' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'induces to make no' is the wordplay.
'induces' becomes 'leads' (leading is a kind of inducing).
'to make' indicates an anagram.
'no' is an anagram of 'on'.
'leads'+'on'='LEADS ON'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for leads on that I've seen before include "How unruly dogs need to be taken" , "Lures (into trouble)" , "regularly taking tricks" .)
