Relied upon Shed getting back to Guardian (5,2)
I believe the answer is:
leant on
'relied upon' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'shed getting back to guardian' is the wordplay.
'shed' becomes 'leanto' (lean-to is an outside building or shed).
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'back to' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'guardian' is 'n'.
'leanto'+'n'='LEANT ON'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for leant on that I've seen before include "Pressed" , "Depended upon" .)
