For every journalist getting pork, say, filled (9)
I believe the answer is:
permeated
'filled' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'for every journalist getting pork say' is the wordplay.
'for every' becomes 'per' ('per' means 'for each' or 'for every').
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'pork say' becomes 'meat' (pork is an example).
'ed' put after 'meat' is 'meated'.
'per'+'meated'='PERMEATED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for permeated that I've seen before include "Pervaded" , "Spread into every part of" .)
