Beaten and stoned (6)
I believe the answer is:
pipped
This might be a double definition.
'beaten' is the first definition.
(pipping is a kind of beating)
'stoned' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pipped that I've seen before include "Just beaten, possibly at the post" , "Just beaten, often at the post" , "with seeds" , "Beaten by a small margin" , "Just beaten, perhaps at the post" .)
