Displayed - a willingness to invest? (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
laid out
'displayed' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I cannot see how one could define the other.
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for laid out that I've seen before include "KO'd" , "prepared for burial" , "Spent" , "arranged" , "Paid" .)
