Leered over girl looking extremely dodgy initially (5)
I believe the answer is:
ogled
'leered' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with perception as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'girl looking extremely dodgy initially' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'og' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'initially' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letters of 'looking extremely dodgy' is 'led'.
'og'+'led'='OGLED'
'over' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ogled that I've seen before include "Looked at lecherously" , "regarded with desire" , "Eyed lecherously" , "Longingly looked at" , "Stared at" .)
