Ross

I believe the answer is:

blasted

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'blown' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'the trumpeter the note lingered on' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'note' could be 'la' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'la' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'by' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for blasted that I've seen before include "Blown up" , "Flipping" , "darned" , "Like the heath in Macbeth" , "Damned" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
