Being lumbered, getting sad (4)
I believe the answer is:
glum
'sad' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'being lumbered' is the wordplay.
'GLUM' is hidden within the letters.
However, I'm unsure how the hidden word is indicated.
'getting' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for glum that I've seen before include "In low spirits" , "Sad and gloomy" , "Unhappy" , "Moody and melancholic" , "Sad and downcast" .)
