Change of organ for editor moved to pastures new (12)
I believe the answer is:
transplanted
'new' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives can occasionally mean the same thing.
'change of organ for editor moved to pastures' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'change' could be 'transplant' (transplant is a kind of change) and 'transplant' is located in the answer.
'editor' could be 'ed' and 'ed' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for transplanted that I've seen before include "Grafted" , "Moved to another situation" .)
