Returned to the house to put in office surrounded by grass (2-7)
I believe the answer is:
re-elected
'returned to the house' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'put in office surrounded by grass' is the wordplay.
'put in office' becomes 'elect' (I've seen this in another clue).
'surrounded by' indicates putting letters inside.
'grass' becomes 'reed' (type of grass plant).
'elect' placed inside 'reed' is 'RE-ELECTED'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for re-elected that I've seen before include "Chosen to represent once more" , "Voted back into office" .)
