Being taken along as one goes to a new town (2,3)
I believe the answer is:
in tow
'being taken along' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'one goes to a new town' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'goes to' says to put letters next to each other.
'a new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'town' is an anagram of 'ntow'.
'i'+'ntow'='IN TOW'
'as' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for in tow that I've seen before include "Along for the ride" , "Trailing behind" , "close behind" , "getting carried along" , "being pulled along" .)
