alexander | All | "thing out" verb |

From: alexander koryagin <koryagin@erec.ru> Hi, all! In "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" I read: -----Beginning of the citation----- "Here," he said. "We go on through here. The entrance is concealed." Harry did not ask how Dumbledore knew. He had never seen a wizard work things out like this, simply by looking and touching; but Harry had long since learned that bangs and smoke were more often the marks of ineptitude than expertise. -----The end of the citation----- It seems that "things out" is a verb and it has the similar meaning to "looks". But where on Earth Rowling has found such a verb "to thing out"? |
