Had an argument but we stick out (5)
I believe the answer is:
rowed
'had an argument' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I can't see how they can define each other.
'we stick out' is the wordplay.
'stick' becomes 'rod' (I've seen this before).
'out' indicates putting letters inside.
'we' put inside 'rod' is 'ROWED'.
'but' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rowed that I've seen before include "Went boating; quarrelled" , "Propelled boat" , "Took part in regatta, perhaps" , "Oared" , "Maybe went from Putney to Mortlake" .)
