Cleaned, tidied and covered in doilies? (7)
I believe the answer is:
enlaced
'covered in doilies?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with contact as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'cleaned tidied' is the wordplay.
'cleaned' anagrams to 'ENLACED'.
Though, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for enlaced that I've seen before include "Entwined" , "Intertwined" , "Wound" .)
