A race to ride away, dressed Crossword Clue

The crossword clue "A race to ride away, dressed" with the answer "ATTIRED" refers to the wordplay involving the word "attired," meaning dressed or clothed. To break it down: "A race" is a hint to the anagram, and "to ride away" suggests that the letters of "attired" can be rearranged. The phrase "dressed" functions as the definition of the word "attired," which fits the clue's requirement for both a definition and a wordplay element. Thus, "attired" is the solution to the clue, combining both aspects of being dressed and the anagrammatic play on the words given.

The crossword clue "A race to ride away, dressed" with the answer "ABANDED" refers to a cryptic play on words. In this clue, "A race" can be interpreted as "A BAN," and "to ride away" suggests the removal of the word "ride" from something.

The word "dressed" often indicates that the letters are somehow arranged or modified. When "ride" is removed from the phrase "A BANDED" (which could suggest something dressed or adorned), you're left with "ABANDED." This kind of wordplay is common in cryptic crosswords, where clues are often designed to be interpreted in a less straightforward manner.

The crossword clue "A race to ride away, dressed" with the answer "ABASHED" refers to a cryptic style of wordplay. In this clue, "A race" can lead to the word "ABASH," which is derived from the prefix "A" and "BASH," implying a kind of metaphorical race or rush that can cause embarrassment (a feeling associated with being abashed).

The phrase "to ride away" suggests the removal of the word "ride," and "dressed" can indicate how letters are arranged or that they form a complete word. In this case, "ABASHED" is the result, meaning to be embarrassed or ashamed, fitting the sense of being "dressed down" emotionally.

The crossword clue "A race to ride away, dressed" with the answer "ABDUCED" refers to a combination of wordplay and anagram. Here, "A race" can hint at the Latin prefix "AB," which means "away." The phrase "to ride away" suggests movement, and it may imply that the letters of the word "race" are involved in forming the solution. The word "dressed" often signals an anagram in cryptic crossword clues.

In this case, "ABDUCED" is formed by taking "A" (from the clue directly) and using "race" as an anagram (which can be rearranged as "RACE") to form the word "DUCE" (when "ride" is implied as being 'ridden away' or replaced). Thus, combining "A" and the anagram of "RACE" forms the word "ABDUCED," which means "led away," fitting the clue’s idea of movement and rearrangement.
