Anticipate times taken over exercise in English court (6)
I believe the answer is:
expect
'anticipate' is the definition.
(I know that anticipate can be written as expect)
'times taken over exercise in english court' is the wordplay.
'times' becomes 'x' (multiplication sign).
'taken over exercise' becomes 'ep' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'court' becomes 'ct' (abbreviation used in road names).
'x' inserted within 'ep' is 'exp'.
'exp'+'e'+'ct'='EXPECT'
(Other definitions for expect that I've seen before include "Regard (something) as likely to happen" , "Require as rightfully due" , "Imagine" , "Envision or await" , "Regard (someone) as likely to arrive" .)
