Jumped and broke plate (5)
I believe the answer is:
leapt
'jumped' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'broke plate' is the wordplay.
'broke' indicates an anagram.
'plate' is an anagram of 'LEAPT'.
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for leapt that I've seen before include "Bounded, sprang" , "Jumped a long way" , "Jumped on plate" , "Made spring" , "gone up dramatically" .)
