Meant to get a hundred pounds by stated right (7)
I believe the answer is:
claimed
'stated right' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'meant to get a hundred pounds' is the wordplay.
'meant' becomes 'aimed' (aiming is a kind of meaning).
'to get' says to put letters next to each other.
'a hundred' becomes 'C' (Roman numerals).
'pounds' becomes 'l' (L can represent the monetary pound).
'c'+'l'='cl'
'aimed' after 'cl' is 'CLAIMED'.
'by' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for claimed that I've seen before include "Asserted right to or interest in" , "Asserted, contended" , "Asserted one's right to" , "Called for" , "Declared" .)
