Got around settling overdue amount (13)
I believe the answer is:
outmanoeuvred
'got' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are past participle verbs.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'settling overdue amount' is the wordplay.
'settling' indicates an anagram (settle can mean to solve or sort out).
'overdue'+'amount'='overdueamount'
'overdueamount' with letters rearranged gives 'OUTMANOEUVRED'.
'around' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
