Started smoking, perhaps (3)
I believe the answer is:
lit
This clue might be a double definition.
'started' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to change as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'smoking perhaps' is the second definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lit that I've seen before include "Fired" , "Set afire" , "fine writing in condensed form" , "Illuminated" , "Enlightened" .)
