Greedy type bound to be hampered (7)
I believe the answer is:
hogtied
'hampered' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'greedy type bound' is the wordplay.
'greedy type' becomes 'hog' (I've seen this in another clue).
'bound' becomes 'tied' ('tie' can be a synonym of 'bind').
'hog'+'tied'='HOGTIED'
'to be' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for hogtied that I've seen is " Members bound".)
