School note expected about pet? (7)
I believe the answer is:
educate
'pet?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I don't see how they can define each other.
'school note expected about' is the wordplay.
'school' becomes 'cat' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'note' becomes 'e' (musical note).
'expected' becomes 'due' (I've seen this before).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'e'+'due'='edue'
'cat' going within 'edue' is 'EDUCATE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for educate that I've seen before include "School, train" , "Enlighten" , "Bring up" , "Train, teach" , "Tutor" .)
