A place selling cheese in turn got in a bad way (5)
I believe the answer is:
ailed
'bad way' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I cannot see how they can define each other.
'a place selling cheese in turn got in a' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
'got' could be 'led' (leading is a kind of getting) and 'led' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'i' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ailed that I've seen before include "Delia (anag.)" , "was on the blink?" , "Became sick" , "Felt bad" , "Was unwell" .)
