Degraded (6)
I believe the answer is:
abased
'degraded' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for abased that I've seen before include "Degraded, brought low" , "Humiliated or degraded" , "Demeaned (oneself)" , "Belittled, degraded" , "Humbled, mortified" .)
