Sauntered across the street with bread, extremely exhausted (8)
I believe the answer is:
strolled
'sauntered across' is the definition.
'strolled' can be an answer for 'sauntered' ('stroll' can be a synonym of 'saunter'). I'm not sure about the 'across' bit.
'street with bread extremely exhausted' is the wordplay.
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'bread' becomes 'roll' (roll is a kind of bread).
'extremely' means to remove the middle letters (only the extremes of the word are used).
'exhausted' with its centre taken out is 'ed'.
'st'+'roll'+'ed'='STROLLED'
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for strolled that I've seen before include "Sauntered" , "Wandered" , "proceeded unhurriedly" , "Ambled" , "Walked in leisurely way" .)
