American dove, JFK, nicked with a shot (10)
I believe the answer is:
jackknifed
'american dove' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'jfk nicked with a shot' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'shot' indicates anagramming the letters.
'jfk'+'nicked'+'a'='jfknickeda'
'jfknickeda' with letters rearranged gives 'JACKKNIFED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for jackknifed that I've seen before include "Accidentally folded (of a lorry)" , "Doubled up" .)
