Planned to have school on the Levant? (7)
I believe the answer is:
schemed
'planned' is the definition.
(scheming is a kind of planning)
'school on the levant?' is the wordplay.
'school' becomes 'sch' (common abbreviation).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'the levant?' becomes 'emed' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'sch'+'emed'='SCHEMED'
'to have' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for schemed that I've seen before include "contrived" , "Conspired" , "Devised plans" , "designed" , "Plotted and planned" .)
