Exhausted and broke (5)
I believe the answer is:
spent
This clue could be a double definition.
'exhausted' is the first definition.
(I know that exhausted can be written as spent)
'broke' is the second definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spent that I've seen before include "Expended" , "Worn out, having laid out money" , "Burned-out" , "Worn Out, exhausted" , "Used up; exhausted" .)
