Like an old village school admitting young child, not old (6)
I believe the answer is:
cotted
This might be a double definition.
'like an old village school admitting young child' is the first definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'not old' is the second definition.
The answer and definition are different parts of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs occasionally mean the same thing.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
