Doubt over inquest condemned (8)
I believe the answer is:
question
'doubt' is the definition.
(I know that doubt can be written as question)
'over inquest condemned' is the wordplay.
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation).
'condemned' is an anagram indicator.
'o'+'inquest'='oinquest'
'oinquest' is an anagram of 'QUESTION'.
(Other definitions for question that I've seen before include "Pump" , "Query" , "Grill" , "Doubt; object to" , "Challenge" .)
