I believe the answer is:

ordered

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'given command' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to change as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'command' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'command' could be 'order' (order is a kind of command) and 'order' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ed' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ordered that I've seen before include "requested" , "Tidied up" , "Demanded" , "Issued a command" , "Regulated" .)
