Having veins, beaten seven love (6)
I believe the answer is:
venose
'having veins' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'beaten seven love' is the wordplay.
'beaten' indicates an anagram (letters beaten up or destroyed).
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'seven'+'o'='seveno'
'seveno' anagrammed gives 'VENOSE'.

(Another definition for venose that I've seen is " with prominent blood vessels".)
