Spilt cider and got upset (5)
I believe the answer is:
cried
'got upset' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to bodily activities as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'spilt cider' is the wordplay.
'spilt' indicates an anagram.
'cider' anagrammed gives 'CRIED'.
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cried that I've seen before include "Wept or called out" , "announced" , "Sobbed" , "Blubbed" , "Yelled" .)
