When a toy is broken in transit (2,3,3)
I believe the answer is:
on the way
'in transit' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'when a toy is broken' is the wordplay.
'is broken' indicates an anagram.
'when'+'a'+'toy'='whenatoy'
'whenatoy' with letters rearranged gives 'ON THE WAY'.
(Other definitions for on the way that I've seen before include "En route" , "About to arrive" , "In progress" , "In transit" .)
