Gathered to be all right (4)
I believe the answer is:
took
'gathered' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to change as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'to be all right' is the wordplay.
'be all right' becomes 'ok' (synonyms).
'to'+'ok'='TOOK'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for took that I've seen before include "shot" , "Helped oneself to" , "Laid hold of" , "Small stem of flowers" , "Removed; occupied" .)
