Turned the ignition key with it? (8,2)
I believe the answer is:
switched-on
'with it?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'turned the ignition key' is the wordplay.
'turned' becomes 'switched' (switching is a kind of turning).
'the ignition key' becomes 'on' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'switched'+'on'='SWITCHED-ON'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for switched-on that I've seen is " Aware, up to date".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
