Done so may be caught (6)
I believe the answer is:
noosed
'caught' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with contact as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'done so may be' is the wordplay.
'may be' is an anagram indicator.
'done'+'so'='doneso'
'doneso' with letters rearranged gives 'NOOSED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for noosed that I've seen is " Lassoed".)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
