Shot round a turn to the left, in fact (5)
I believe the answer is:
truly
'fact' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'shot round a turn to the left in' is the wordplay.
'shot round' becomes 'try' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'a turn' becomes 'u' (a 'U-turn' is a kind of turn).
'to the left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'u'+'l'='ul'
'try' going around 'ul' is 'TRULY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for truly that I've seen before include "with accuracy" , "Genuinely, properly" , "Really, genuinely" , "Verily" , "Honestly" .)
