Went against the current trend? (6)
I believe the answer is:
eddied
'went against the current trend?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'went against the current trend?' is the wordplay.
'went' becomes 'died' ('die' can be a synonym of 'go').
'against' says to put letters next to each other.
'the current trend?' becomes 'ed' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'died' put after 'ed' is 'EDDIED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eddied that I've seen before include "Whirled" , "Of water, swirled around" , "Of water, moved in small swirls" , "(Current) swirled" , "(Of fluid) moved in circles" .)
