Adjudged
I believe the answer is:
deemed
'adjudged' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for deemed that I've seen before include "Considered, held as opinion" , "Considered, held the view" , "Considered, reckoned" , "'Judged, considered (6)'" , "Judged, thought, considered" .)
