Had no success casting lots (4)
I believe the answer is:
lost
'had no success' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to bodily activities as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'casting lots' is the wordplay.
'casting' indicates an anagram.
'lots' with letters rearranged gives 'LOST'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lost that I've seen before include "Mislaid or irretrievable" , "See 10" , "TV show" , "Mislaid or was defeated" , "Mislaid or astray" .)
