Carried more than was necessary for the weekend (4)
I believe the answer is:
took
'carried more than' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to bodily activities as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'was necessary for the weekend' is the wordplay.
'was necessary' becomes 'too' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the weekend' becomes 'k' (I've seen this in other clues).
'too'+'k'='TOOK'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for took that I've seen before include "removed from chessboard" , "Helped oneself to" , "Laid hold of" , "Gained; stole; made (notes)" , "shot" .)
