Make Sir be online, ignoring current shifts (7)
I believe the answer is:
ennoble
'make sir be online ignoring current shifts' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'be online ignoring current shifts' is the wordplay.
'ignoring' is a deletion indicator.
'current' becomes 'I' (physics symbol).
'shifts' indicates anagramming the letters.
'be'+'online'='beonline'
'beonline' with 'i' removed is 'beonlne'.
'beonlne' with letters rearranged gives 'ENNOBLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ennoble that I've seen before include "Make a count, perhaps" , "Raise to the aristocracy" , "Bestow honour upon" , "Give peerage to" , "Elevate to knighthood" .)
