Agent was untruthful about wicked act being done again (10)
I believe the answer is:
replicated
'done again' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with creating things as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'agent was untruthful about wicked act' is the wordplay.
'agent' becomes 'rep' (short for representative).
'was untruthful' becomes 'lied' (I've seen this before).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'wicked' indicates anagramming the letters.
'act' anagrammed gives 'cat'.
'lied' enclosing 'cat' is 'licated'.
'rep'+'licated'='REPLICATED'
'being' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for replicated that I've seen is " Copied".)
