Danced and swam (6)
I believe the answer is:
reeled
This clue could be a double definition.
'danced' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'swam' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reeled that I've seen before include "swam around" , "Felt giddy, staggered" , "Staggered - having done Irish dance?" , "Staggered in a dance perhaps" , "Danced; staggered" .)
