Pipe buried in a garden plot must be taken away (8)
I believe the answer is:
abducted
'taken away' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with contact as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'pipe buried in a garden plot' is the wordplay.
'pipe' becomes 'duct' (I've seen this in another clue).
'buried in' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters get buried).
'garden plot' becomes 'bed' (I've seen this in another clue).
'a'+'bed'='abed'
'duct' put into 'abed' is 'ABDUCTED'.
'must be' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for abducted that I've seen before include "Kidnapped, snatched" , "carried off" .)
