Edward, after gold, returned to the country incited to activity (7)
I believe the answer is:
rousted
'incited to activity' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'edward after gold returned to the country' is the wordplay.
'edward' becomes 'ted'.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'gold' becomes 'or' ('or' is the heraldic name for gold).
'returned' says the letters should be written backwards.
'to the country' becomes 'us' (U.S. is an example).
'or' backwards is 'ro'.
'ro'+'us'='rous'
'ted' after 'rous' is 'ROUSTED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for rousted that I've seen is " Stirred up".)
