Taken for a ride in used Ford again? (6-7)
I believe the answer is:
double-crossed
'taken' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'a ride in used ford again?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'ford' could be 'cross' (I've seen this before) and 'cross' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for double-crossed that I've seen before include "Deceived" , "Cheated by one's own agent" .)
