Urged peace-lover to embrace end of war (5)
I believe the answer is:
drove
'urged' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'peace-lover to embrace end of war' is the wordplay.
'peace lover' becomes 'dove' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to embrace' is an insertion indicator.
'end of war' becomes 'r' (I've seen this in other clues).
'dove' going around 'r' is 'DROVE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drove that I've seen before include "Took car; herd animals" , "Incited" , "Went by car" , "Motored; moving flock" , "Herd of cattle" .)
