Drew Daliesque works (9)
I believe the answer is:
equalised
'drew' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs can sometimes mean the same thing.
'daliesque works' is the wordplay.
'works' indicates an anagram (work can mean to twist or convulse).
'daliesque' anagrammed gives 'EQUALISED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for equalised that I've seen before include "Drew level" , "Got even" , "Brought into line" .)
