Vehicle emptied brought in prompting detailed search (13)
I believe the answer is:
investigation
'search' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'vehicle emptied brought in prompting detailed' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for investigation that I've seen before include "Inquiry" , "Analysis" , "Examination" , "fact-finding search" , "Making enquiries" .)
