Gave encores naturally (6)
I believe the answer is:
echoed
'gave' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for echoed that I've seen before include "Resounded" , "said nothing original" , "Repeated a sound" , "Rang" , "copied" .)
