Bit hurried (6)
I believe the answer is:
nipped
This could be a double definition.
'bit' is the first definition.
(nipping is a kind of biting)
'hurried' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I can't understand how they can define each other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nipped that I've seen before include "Pinched, maybe in the bud" , "Pinched, perhaps in the bud" .)
