Dismissed at Lord’s, Charlie, over anything at all? (6)
I believe the answer is:
caught
'dismissed at lord's' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'charlie over anything at all?' is the wordplay.
'charlie' becomes 'c' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'over' says to put letters next to each other.
'anything at all?' becomes 'aught' (anything).
'c'+'aught'='CAUGHT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for caught that I've seen before include "Trapped or captured" , "Got" , "Stopped and held a moving object" , "Seized" , "Overtaken - in the act?" .)
