Take out girl — one I left consumed with passion (10)
I believe the answer is:
annihilate
'take' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'out girl one i left consumed with passion' is the wordplay.
'out girl' becomes 'ann' (woman's name. I am not sure about the 'out' bit.).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'left' becomes 'L' (common abbreviation).
'consumed with' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are consumed).
'passion' becomes 'hate' (hate is a passionate emotion).
'i'+'l'='il'
'il' put within 'hate' is 'hilate'.
'ann'+'i'+'hilate'='ANNIHILATE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for annihilate that I've seen before include "Utterly destroy" , "Wipe out" , "Completely defeat" .)
