What has supervisor to do with poetry in Old English? (7)
I believe the answer is:
oversee
'what has supervisor to do' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is not.
'poetry in old english?' is the wordplay.
'poetry' becomes 'verse' (synonyms).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'old english?' becomes 'OE'.
'verse' put inside 'oe' is 'OVERSEE'.
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oversee that I've seen before include "take charge" , "As supervisor does" , "survey" , "Administer" , "Watch people toil" .)
