Made a speech about how one was an obstetrician? (9)
I believe the answer is:
delivered
'made a speech' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to bodily activities as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'about how one was an obstetrician?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'about' could be 're' (regarding) and 're' is located in the answer.
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'delved' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for delivered that I've seen before include "sent to the house" , "Rescued" , "Saved" , "Brought to a destination" , "Handed over" .)
