Delivered book draft on time (7)
I believe the answer is:
brought
'delivered' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with contact as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'book draft on time' is the wordplay.
'book' becomes 'b' (abbreviation for book).
'draft' becomes 'rough' (synonyms).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'b'+'rough'+'t'='BROUGHT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for brought that I've seen before include "Took with oneself" , "Carried (to a place)" , "Delivered or carried" , "Took along with you" , "Caused" .)
