Are given stick about having yelled (6)
I believe the answer is:
roared
'yelled' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'are given stick about' is the wordplay.
'given stick' becomes 'rod' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'given' bit.).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'are' put within 'rod' is 'ROARED'.
'having' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for roared that I've seen before include "Made long loud sound like lion" , "Yelled" , "Bellowed, thundered" .)
