Proposed (6,3,8)
I think it could be either:
popped the question
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">proposed</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('pop the question' can be a synonym of 'propose')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">proposed</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('suggest' can be a synonym of 'propose')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for suggested that I've seen before include "Hinted at" , "Proposed, recommended" , "Made a proposal" .)
