Describing one who is insured being held up by a gunman (7)
I believe the answer is:
covered
'one who is insured being held up by a gunman' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for covered that I've seen before include "Concealed; dealt with" , "Overlaid with something" , "Reported" , "Concealed; roofed over" , "given protection" .)
