Girl put right or left alone? (9)
I believe the answer is:
unamended
'left alone?' is the definition.
The answer and definition are different parts of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs can sometimes mean the same thing.
'girl put right' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'una' (girl's name).
'put right' becomes 'mended' (I've seen this in another clue).
'una'+'mended'='UNAMENDED'
'or' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for unamended that I've seen is " no change here".)
