Panted with journey finally made (7)
I believe the answer is:
yearned
'panted' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'with journey finally made' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'finally' indicates one should take the final letters.
'made' becomes 'earned' (as in making money).
The last letter of 'journey' is 'y'.
'y'+'earned' is 'YEARNED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for yearned that I've seen before include "Did long" , "Craved" , "Longed to be in deanery" , "Desired - longed (for)" , "Ached" .)
