Shock from cold in chosen path (11)
I believe the answer is:
electrocute
'shock' is the definition.
(give an electric shock)
'cold in chosen path' is the wordplay.
'cold' becomes 'C' (eg on taps).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'chosen' becomes 'elect' ('elect' as an adjective can mean chosen).
'path' becomes 'route' (synonyms).
'elect'+'route'='electroute'
'c' inserted within 'electroute' is 'ELECTROCUTE'.
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for electrocute that I've seen before include "Shock greatly!" , "overcharge?" , "finish with power" , "Kill, injure by a shock" , "end with a shock?" .)
