French one, very rich, unpacked (8)
I believe the answer is:
unloaded
'unpacked' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with contact as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'french one very rich' is the wordplay.
'french one' becomes 'un' ('one' in French).
'very rich' becomes 'loaded' (I've seen this before).
'un'+'loaded'='UNLOADED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unloaded that I've seen before include "Not laden" , "Having discharged gun" , "Removed (cargo)" , "Dumped" .)
