Meaning Scamp to take the ball right to (6)
I believe the answer is:
import
'meaning' is the definition.
(I know that meaning can be written as import)
'scamp to take the ball right to' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'scamp' could be 'imp' (synonyms) and 'imp' is found in the answer.
'take' could be 'r' (abbreviation for 'recipe', Latin for 'take') and 'r' is found within the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
'ball' could be 'o' (O looks like a ball) and 'o' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for import that I've seen before include "Weight" , "introduce" , "Meaning - bring goods into the country" , "Bring in from abroad to sell" , "Convey" .)
