'wounded' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a parisian escaping from disabling device' is the wordplay.

This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'is' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stung that I've seen before include "goaded" , "Punctured eg by wasp" , "Overcharged" , "Wounded by a bee or wasp" , "Nettled - ripped off" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
