Crossword Genius

Given feed for development (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

offered

'given' is the definition.
(offering is a kind of giving)

'feed for development' is the wordplay.
'development' is an anagram indicator.
'feed'+'for'='feedfor'
'feedfor' with letters rearranged gives 'OFFERED'.

(Other definitions for offered that I've seen before include "Bid; provided" , "Presented for acceptance or rejection" , "Tendered" , "Proposed" , "Expressed readiness (to do something)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
