Cried for me, but not all day (5)
I believe the answer is:
mewed
'cried' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'me but not all day' is the wordplay.
'but not all' means to remove the last letter.
'day' becomes 'weds' (I've seen this before).
'weds' with its last letter removed is 'wed'.
'me'+'wed'='MEWED'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mewed that I've seen before include "Made cat noise" , "made catty remark" , "confined" , "cried pitifully" .)
