Put out eggs – almost leave out scrambled (7)
I believe the answer is:
ovulate
'put out eggs almost leave out scrambled' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'almost leave out scrambled' is the wordplay.
'almost' means to remove the last letter (almost the whole word is kept).
'scrambled' indicates anagramming the letters.
'leave' with its last letter taken away is 'leav'.
'leav'+'out'='leavout'
'leavout' anagrammed gives 'OVULATE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ovulate that I've seen before include "supply eggs" , "Discharge female germ cells" , "Produce eggs" .)
