Given pivotal support (6)
I believe the answer is:
hinged
'given pivotal support' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with contact as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
This is the entire clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for hinged that I've seen is " Turned".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
