Thanks very much Malone! You’ve put my husband and me out of our misery.

Hi SDL
Could you explain why REAR = "tower" please?

Goodness, you’re all very quick! Thanks chrise and sudukolover too.

Hi Chrise.
Rear is a synonym of tower in my dictionary.
I have no idea why though.

rear up = tower over?

Not convinced

It says in my dictionary.

As a verb.

To rise above.
