Intercepted and executed? (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
headed off
This could be a double definition.
'intercepted' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'executed?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with social activities as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
