One laid down and procreated, wanting love for a change (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
red carpet
'one laid down' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'procreated wanting love for a change' is the wordplay.
'wanting' suggests deleting specific letters (wanting can mean lacking).
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'for a change' indicates anagramming the letters.
'procreated' with 'o' taken away is 'prcreated'.
'prcreated' anagrammed gives 'RED-CARPET'.
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for red carpet that I've seen before include "for star treatment" , "Welcoming walkway" , "laid down for the elite" , "Roll it out for VIP" , "VIP treatment" .)
