Examined origins of surveillance culture with subjective article (6)
I believe the answer is:
scoped
'examined' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'origins of surveillance culture with subjective article' is the wordplay.
'origins of' suggests taking the first letters.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'subjective article' becomes 'oped' (as in a newspaper op-ed. I am not sure about the 'subjective' bit.).
The initial letters of 'surveillance culture' is 'sc'.
'sc'+'oped'='SCOPED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for scoped that I've seen is " Viewed".)
