Got into gear? (7)
I believe the answer is:
dressed
'got' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to bodily activities as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'gear?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'gear?' could be 'dress' (both can mean clothing) and 'dress' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ed' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'into' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dressed that I've seen before include "put bandage on" , "as a crab may be?" , "Put on clothes" , "Attired" , "Clothed" .)
