Honoured with a meal around the end of August (5)
I believe the answer is:
feted
'honoured' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with social activities as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'a meal around the end of august' is the wordplay.
'a meal' becomes 'feed' (I've seen this in other clues).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'the end of' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'august' is 't'.
'feed' enclosing 't' is 'FETED'.
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for feted that I've seen before include "Wined and dined, celebrated" , "Wined, dined and honoured" , "Lionised" , "Honoured with festivities" , "Honoured lavishly" .)
