Lift the lid on organisation with small work force (7)
I believe the answer is:
unscrew
'small work force' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'lift the lid on organisation' is the wordplay.
'lift the lid on' becomes 'uns' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'organisation' becomes 'crew' (crew is a kind of organization).
'uns'+'crew'='UNSCREW'
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unscrew that I've seen before include "Loosen" , "Take the top off" , "Release" , "slack off" , "Take off (eg, a lid)" .)
