Browbeaten after changing the decor? (8)
I believe the answer is:
hectored
'browbeaten' is the definition.
('hector' can be a synonym of 'browbeat')
'changing the decor?' is the wordplay.
'changing' indicates an anagram.
'the'+'decor'='thedecor'
'thedecor' with letters rearranged gives 'HECTORED'.
'after' is the link.
(Other definitions for hectored that I've seen before include "Talked to bullyingly" , "Bullied; blustered" , "Intimidated, bullied" , "Annoyed" .)
