Even lads somehow get dominated (8)
I believe the answer is:
enslaved
'dominated' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'even lads somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'even'+'lads'='evenlads'
'evenlads' is an anagram of 'ENSLAVED'.
'get' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for enslaved that I've seen before include "made captive" , "Subjugated" , "Forced into bondage" , "subject to bond" , "Val's need (anag.)" .)
