Gets back energy with carbon in transports (10)
I believe the answer is:
recaptures
'gets' is the definition.
(recapturing is a kind of getting)
'back energy with carbon in transports' is the wordplay.
'back energy' becomes 'e' (physics symbol as in E=mc2. I am not sure about the 'back' bit.).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'carbon' becomes 'C' (chemical symbol).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'transports' becomes 'raptures' (transport can mean to fascinate or rapture).
'e'+'c'='ec'
'ec' inserted within 'raptures' is 'RECAPTURES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for recaptures that I've seen is " Again experiences".)
