Delighted benches Conservative angered (6)
I believe the answer is:
huffed
This clue might be a double definition.
'delighted benches conservative' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'angered' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I cannot see how they can define each other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for huffed that I've seen before include "Had pet" , "Puffed heavily" , "Was audibly annoyed" , "Blew or blustered ineffectually" .)
