Given money, the wealthy may still appear in need! (8)
I believe the answer is:
enriched
'given money' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to change as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'wealthy may still appear in need' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'wealthy' could be 'rich' (similar in meaning) and 'rich' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'need' is 'ened' which is located in the left over letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for enriched that I've seen before include "Made wealthier" , "Improved in quality - made wealthy" .)
