Hung about, making Nigel terribly embarrassed (8)
I believe the answer is:
lingered
'hung about' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'nigel terribly embarrassed' is the wordplay.
'terribly' is an anagram indicator.
'embarrassed' becomes 'red' (someone may blush or go red when embarrassed).
'nigel' with letters rearranged gives 'linge'.
'linge'+'red'='LINGERED'
'making' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lingered that I've seen before include "left behind" , "Stayed on, hung around" , "Dallied" , "Hung on, dawdled" , "Loitered" .)
