Held up like the laundry? (8)
I believe the answer is:
hampered
'held up' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to change as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hampered that I've seen before include "Prevented free movement, restricted" , "Hindered, cramped" , "Blocked" , "Obstructed; handicapped" , "Frustrated" .)
