This clue might be a double definition.

'came out' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to change as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'roared around lake' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
