Didn’t force to alight when one made a commotion (7,2)
I believe the answer is:
carried on
'didn't force to alight' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'one made a commotion' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is located in the answer.
'made' could be 'carried' (carrying is a kind of making) and 'carried' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'n' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'when' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for carried on that I've seen is " Continued".)
