Given care at another's expense? (7)
I believe the answer is:
treated
'given' is the definition.
(treating is a kind of giving)
'care at another's expense?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'at' is found in the answer.
'another' could be 're' (I've seen this in other clues) and 're' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ted' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for treated that I've seen before include "Applied medication to" , "Given medical attention" , "given therapy" , "Nursed" , "not asked to pay" .)
