We had contracted to get married (3)
I believe the answer is:
wed
This might be a double definition.
'we had' is the first definition.
(contraction of 'we had')
'get married' is the second definition.
(synonyms)
'contracted to' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to one of the definitions.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wed that I've seen before include "Take in marriage" , "Marry" , "Joined in the dew" , "Took in marriage" , "Married" .)
