Leave the house for me to return to (2,4)
I believe the answer is:
go home
'return to' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'leave the house for me' is the wordplay.
'leave' becomes 'go' (to go is to depart or leave).
'the house' becomes 'ho' (abbreviation for house).
'for' says to put letters next to each other.
'go'+'ho'+'me'='GO HOME'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for go home that I've seen is " Hit target".)
