Excited when shot? (5)
I believe the answer is:
fired
I believe this is a double definition.
'excited' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'shot?' is the second definition.
(firing is a kind of shooting)
'when' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for fired that I've seen before include "Set ablaze" , "with P45?" , "Stimulated; dismissed" , "Dismissed; set off" , "(Of pottery) baked" .)
