Gave a quick look and slid off (7)
I believe the answer is:
glanced
'gave a quick' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with motion as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'look and slid off' is the wordplay.
'look' becomes 'glance' (glance is a kind of look).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'slid off' becomes 'd' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'glance'+'d'='GLANCED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for glanced that I've seen before include "Looked quickly" , "Peeked" , "Looked briefly or bounced off" , "Took a quick look" , "Glimpsed" .)
