Elicited (6)
I believe the answer is:
educed
'elicited' is the definition.
('educe' can be a synonym of 'elicit')
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for educed that I've seen before include "drawn out" , "Caused to develop, brought out" , "Brought out (something latent)" , "Made to appear" , "Inferred" .)
