Animal biting worker sent back and tagged again (7)
I believe the answer is:
renamed
'tagged again' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'animal biting worker sent back' is the wordplay.
'animal' becomes 'deer' (deer is a type of animal).
'biting' is an insertion indicator (some letters bite or swallow others).
'worker' becomes 'man' (man is a kind of worker).
'sent back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'deer' enclosing 'man' is 'demaner'.
'demaner' backwards is 'RENAMED'.
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for renamed that I've seen is " Meander (anag)".)
