Turned the hose on the pals out in the outhouse? (8)
I believe the answer is:
splashed
'turned the hose' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with contact as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'the pals out in the outhouse?' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'in the' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'outhouse?' becomes 'shed' (I've seen this before).
'pals' anagrammed gives 'plas'.
'plas' put into 'shed' is 'SPLASHED'.
'on' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for splashed that I've seen before include "made waves" , "Spattered" .)
