Leaping to pass over computer query? (8)
I believe the answer is:
skipping
'leaping' is the definition.
(skipping is a kind of leaping)
'pass over computer query?' is the wordplay.
'pass' becomes 'skip' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'over' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'computer query?' becomes 'ping' (a ping is a computer query).
'skip'+'ping'='SKIPPING'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for skipping that I've seen before include "Cutting" , "Missing - physical exercise" , "Playing with a rope" , "Hopping over a turning rope" , "Jumping with a rope" .)
