Put down other end that's damaged (8)
I believe the answer is:
dethrone
'put down' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I can't see how one could define the other.
'other end that's damaged' is the wordplay.
'that's damaged' indicates anagramming the letters.
'other'+'end'='otherend'
'otherend' is an anagram of 'DETHRONE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dethrone that I've seen before include "Bring down" , "crown? No" , "Remove monarch" , "Remove from seat" , "Remove from power" .)
