haggard

'careworn' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'crone yank pushed around' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'crone' could be 'hag' (synonyms) and 'hag' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'gard' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
