Asked to bundle up some bedding (6)
I believe the answer is:
bidden
'asked' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'bundle up some bedding' is the wordplay.
'bundle' becomes 'b' (this might be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'up' indicates anagramming the letters (letters get chucked up).
'some' says to take the centre.
The central letters of 'bedding' are 'eddin'.
'eddin' with letters rearranged gives 'idden'.
'b'+'idden'='BIDDEN'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bidden that I've seen before include "Commanded (to do something)" , "Ordered (to)" , "Asked" .)
