Inadvertently pick up deliveries, in this place reportedly (8)
I believe the answer is:
overhear
'inadvertently pick up' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'deliveries in this place reportedly' is the wordplay.
'deliveries' becomes 'over' (I've seen this before).
'in this place' becomes 'here' (synonyms).
'reportedly' shows a homophone (sound like).
'here' is a homophone of 'hear'.
'over'+'hear'='OVERHEAR'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for overhear that I've seen before include "Learn by accident" , "Accidentally perceive with the ear" , "Be privy to" , "Accidentally discover" , "Accidentally learn" .)
