See the vanquished more intimately (6)
I believe the answer is:
closer
'intimately' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adverbs. Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'see the vanquished more' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'C' (the word for the letter, according to Chambers).
'the vanquished' becomes 'loser' (I've seen this in another clue).
'more' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (some letters added to the previous ones).
'c'+'loser'='CLOSER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for closer that I've seen before include "More airless; nearer" , "Nearer in time or space" , "one concludes" , "Cresol (anag.)" , "One winds up" .)
