Got on feet despite being jilted (5,2)
I believe the answer is:
stood up
'jilted' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stood up that I've seen before include "Rose" , "made to wait in vain" , "Failed to keep date with (someone)" .)
