Meant to get a hundred pounds by stated right (7)
I believe the answer is:
claimed
'stated right' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'meant to get a hundred pounds' is the wordplay.
'meant' becomes 'aimed' (aiming is a kind of meaning).
'to get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a hundred' becomes 'c' (Roman numeral).
'pounds' becomes 'l' (L can represent the monetary pound).
'c'+'l'='cl'
'aimed' put after 'cl' is 'CLAIMED'.
'by' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for claimed that I've seen before include "Asserted right to or interest in" , "Asserted, contended" , "Asserted one's right to" , "Called for" , "Declared" .)
