Determined aged sins in a new way (8)
I believe the answer is:
assigned
'determined aged' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for assigned that I've seen before include "transferred" , "Allocated" , "Alloted, ascribed" , "Given a task" , "Allotted or appointed to a post" .)
