Exhausted and through with an exalted self-image (6,2)
I believe the answer is:
puffed up
'exhausted' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to change as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for puffed up that I've seen is " Pompous".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
