Honoured with a feast around Tuesday (5)

I believe the answer is:

feted

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'honoured' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with social activities as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'feast around tuesday' is the wordplay.
'feast' becomes 'feed' (synonyms).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'tuesday' becomes 't'.
'feed' going around 't' is 'FETED'.

'with a' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for feted that I've seen before include "Honoured with festivities" , "Honoured lavishly" , "Wined, dined and honoured" , "Lionised" , "Wined and dined, celebrated" .)
