Took the rest of the pelts out (5)
I believe the answer is:
slept
'took the rest of' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to bodily activities as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'pelts out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'pelts' with letters rearranged gives 'SLEPT'.
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for slept that I've seen before include "Had room for" , "Slumbered" , "Was dormant" , "appeared still" , "Had forty winks" .)
