Practised covering vehicle in vermilion? (9)
I believe the answer is:
rehearsed
'practised' is the definition.
('rehearse' can be a synonym of 'practise')
'covering vehicle in vermilion?' is the wordplay.
'covering vehicle' becomes 'hearse' (vehicle for a coffin. I am not sure about the 'covering' bit.).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'vermilion?' becomes 'red' (vermilion is a kind of red).
'hearse' placed into 'red' is 'REHEARSED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rehearsed that I've seen before include "went over" , "Front-rear axle distance" , "Practised for public performance" , "Practiced (a play)" .)
