Had a spring in Meadow Point (5)
I believe the answer is:
leapt
'had a spring' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I don't see how they can define each other.
'meadow point' is the wordplay.
'meadow' becomes 'lea' (a lea is a grassy area).
'point' becomes 'pt' (abbreviation for point).
'lea'+'pt'='LEAPT'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for leapt that I've seen before include "rose fast" , "Jumped, sprang" , "Vaulted" , "Made spring" , "Took off" .)
