The team in red was at home (7)
I believe the answer is:
resided
'at home' is the definition.
The answer and definition are different parts of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives can sometimes define each other.
'the team in red' is the wordplay.
'the team' becomes 'side' (both can mean a sports team).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'side' put within 'red' is 'RESIDED'.
'was' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for resided that I've seen before include "Lived" , "Dwelt" , "Abode" , "Sojourned" , "Settled" .)
