'fabricated' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with creating things as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'now strangely enough about a day of victory' is the wordplay.
'strangely enough' indicates an anagram.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a day of victory' becomes 've'.
'now' anagrammed gives 'won'.
'won' placed around 've' is 'WOVEN'.
