Damaged utensil given to head of department, offended (8)
I believe the answer is:
insulted
'offended' is the definition.
(insulting is a kind of offending)
'damaged utensil given to head of department' is the wordplay.
'damaged' is an anagram indicator.
'given to' says to put letters next to each other.
'head of' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'department' is 'd'.
'utensil' anagrammed gives 'insulte'.
'insulte'+'d'='INSULTED'
(Other definitions for insulted that I've seen before include "Offended" , "Affronted" , "Spoke rudely or abusively to" , "treated with scornful abuse" , "Treated with contempt" .)
