Go paddling with Virginia (4)
I believe the answer is:
wade
'go' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'paddling with virginia' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'with' could be 'w' (abbreviation) and 'w' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ade' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wade that I've seen before include "Walk through water with difficulty" , "British winner of Wimbledon Singles in 1977" , "Proceed with difficulty" , "Walk with legs partly immersed" , "Walk through shallow water" .)
