Sort of reminder when given the elbow? (7)
I believe the answer is:
pointed
'given the elbow?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to change as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pointed that I've seen before include "sharpish" , "keen" , "Of remark, direct and cutting" , "With a tapered tip" , "Sharp -- indicated" .)
