A couple of rounds after mass, Irish priest suggested (6)
I believe the answer is:
mooted
'suggested' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'a couple of rounds after mass irish priest' is the wordplay.
'a couple of rounds' becomes 'OO' (round can mean a round object like an O).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'mass' becomes 'm' (symbol used in Physics e.g. f=ma).
'irish priest' becomes 'ted' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'oo' after 'm' is 'moo'.
'moo'+'ted'='MOOTED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mooted that I've seen before include "'Debated, considered (6)'" , "Raised question for discussion" , "Proposed for discussion" , "Raised matter for discussion" .)
