Depict red construction, as forecast (9)
I believe the answer is:
predicted
'forecast' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'depict red construction' is the wordplay.
'construction' indicates an anagram (answer constructed from certain letters).
'depict'+'red'='depictred'
'depictred' is an anagram of 'PREDICTED'.
'as' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for predicted that I've seen before include "foreseen" , "Estimated what would happen" , "Foretold, forecast" , "Prophesied, forecast" .)
