Negotiated about broken plate (9)
I believe the answer is:
overleapt
'negotiated' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'about broken plate' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 'over' (both can mean around).
'broken' indicates anagramming the letters.
'plate' anagrammed gives 'leapt'.
'over'+'leapt'='OVERLEAPT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for overleapt that I've seen is " Jumped across".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
