Survive during plot being blown up by explosives (7)
I believe the answer is:
blasted
'blown up by explosives' is the definition.
'blasted' can be an answer for 'blown' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'up by explosives' bit.
'survive during plot' is the wordplay.
'survive' becomes 'last' (synonyms).
'during' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'plot' becomes 'bed' (a plot of land).
'last' inserted into 'bed' is 'BLASTED'.
'being' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for blasted that I've seen before include "Flipping" , "Damned" , "Like the heath in Macbeth" , "darned" , "Blown up" .)
