Natural way, with one Zoomed gathering (4-5)
I believe the answer is:
hard-wired
'natural' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'way with one zoomed gathering' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'way' could be 'rd' (short for road) and 'rd' is found in the answer.
'with' could be 'w' (short for with) and 'w' is found within the answer.
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'hared' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
