Sharply replied about the harm-creating wrong endured first and last (8)
I believe the answer is:
retorted
'sharply replied' is the definition.
'retorted' can be an answer for 'replied' (retorting is a kind of replying). I'm unsure of the 'sharply' bit.
'the harm-creating wrong endured first and last' is the wordplay.
'the harm-creating' becomes 're' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'wrong' becomes 'tort' (legal term).
'endured first' becomes 'e' (rst letter of 'endured').
'last' suggests the final letters.
The final letter of 'and' is 'd'.
're'+'tort'+'e'+'d'='RETORTED'
'about' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for retorted that I've seen before include "Answered back" , "Came back" , "Made a quick and clever or angry reply" , "Replied" , "Made witty response" .)
