Discontinued due to the terrible cold around the Kentish area (6)
I believe the answer is:
closed
'discontinued due' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with fundamental existence as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'the terrible cold around the kentish area' is the wordplay.
'the terrible' indicates an anagram.
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'the kentish area' becomes 'SE' (South East of England).
'cold' anagrammed gives 'clod'.
'clod' going around 'se' is 'CLOSED'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for closed that I've seen before include "Held in private" , "Concluded or fastened" , "restricted" , "Not open or available to all" , "clinched the sale" .)
