'east winds endangered by a star' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'east winds endangered by' is the wordplay.
'winds' indicates anagramming the letters (the letters wind around).
'endangered' becomes 'risked' (I've seen this in another clue).
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'east' is an anagram of 'aste'.
'aste'+'risked'='ASTERISKED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for asterisked that I've seen before include "starred" , "marked for special attention" , "Marked symbolically" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
