Replicated policeman and one journalist (6)
I believe the answer is:
copied
'replicated' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with creating things as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'policeman and one journalist' is the wordplay.
'policeman' becomes 'cop' (slang term).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'cop'+'i'+'ed'='COPIED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for copied that I've seen before include "Imitated or replicated" , "most sincerely flattered" , "Imitated, reproduced" , "made a transcript" , "Imitated or recreated" .)
