Got free ride from two jerks and Duke (10)
I believe the answer is:
hitchhiked
'got' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'free ride from two jerks and duke' is the wordplay.
'free ride' becomes 'hitch' (I've seen this before).
'from' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'two jerks' becomes 'hike' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'duke' becomes 'd' (abbreviation).
'hitch'+'hike'+'d'='HITCHHIKED'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
