Defeats resulting in being given sumptuous meals? (7)
I believe the answer is:
feasted
'given sumptuous meals?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to consumption as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'defeats resulting in' is the wordplay.
'resulting in' indicates an anagram.
'defeats' with letters rearranged gives 'FEASTED'.
'being' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for feasted that I've seen before include "Had a lot to eat" , "Ate high off the hog" , "Ate lavishly" , "Banqueted" .)
