Cheered bravery, in conclusion (10)
I believe the answer is:
encouraged
'cheered' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'bravery in conclusion' is the wordplay.
'bravery' becomes 'courage' (synonyms).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'conclusion' becomes 'end' (something's conclusion is its end).
'courage' placed inside 'end' is 'ENCOURAGED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for encouraged that I've seen before include "Urged" , "Heartened" , "Inspired with confidence" , "helped" .)
