Doctor with directions, cold - he would get soaked (8)
I believe the answer is:
drenched
'soaked' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'doctor with directions cold he would' is the wordplay.
'doctor' becomes 'dr' (abbreviation).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'directions' becomes 'en' (east and north).
'cold he' becomes 'che' (I am not sure about the 'cold' bit.).
'would' becomes 'd' (I've seen this in other clues).
'dr'+'en'+'che'+'d'='DRENCHED'
'get' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drenched that I've seen before include "Soaked by rain" , "Soaking, sopping wet" , "Thoroughly soaked" , "forcibly administered medicine" .)
