Hit barrier with scooter having left motorway (8)
I believe the answer is:
walloped
'hit barrier with scooter having left motorway' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'barrier with scooter having left motorway' is the wordplay.
'barrier' becomes 'wall' (a wall acts as a barrier).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'scooter' becomes 'moped' (I've seen this in another clue).
'having left' is a deletion indicator.
'motorway' becomes 'M' (as in motorway names - M1, M4 etc).
'moped' with 'm' removed is 'oped'.
'wall'+'oped'='WALLOPED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for walloped that I've seen before include "Hit hard" , "affected by strikes?" .)
