A measured report was in store (7)
I believe the answer is:
awaited
'report was in store' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'a measured' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'waited' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for awaited that I've seen before include "Expected" , "anticipated" .)
