Engaged couple's expectation after breakdown? (5)
I believe the answer is:
towed
'expectation after breakdown?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'engaged couple's' is the wordplay.
'engaged' becomes 'to' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'couple' becomes 'we'd' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to'+'wed'='TOWED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for towed that I've seen before include "Helped when powerless" , "Dragged behind" , "drawn" , "Hauled" , "Pulled along" .)
