Gutted -- only got a point (4)
I believe the answer is:
drew
'gutted' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with contact as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'only got a point' is the wordplay.
'only' becomes 'dre' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'got' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a point' becomes 'w' (W is an example).
'dre'+'w'='DREW'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drew that I've seen before include "was moving" , "Made picture; pulled" , "Entertainer Barrymore" , "--- Barrymore, actress; sketched" , "was attractive" .)
