Dave, MP cleverly exploited by a woman (6)
I believe the answer is:
vamped
'exploited by a woman' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'dave mp cleverly' is the wordplay.
'cleverly' is an anagram indicator (a clever or tricky version of the letters).
'dave'+'mp'='davemp'
'davemp' with letters rearranged gives 'VAMPED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for vamped that I've seen before include "seduced" , "Made up musical accompaniment for song, as on piano" .)
