Humiliated being dejected indeed (8)
I believe the answer is:
deflated
'humiliated' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'being dejected indeed' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'being' could be 'ted' (Ted is an example) and 'ted' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for deflated that I've seen before include "Lost self-esteem - or gas?" , "Collapsed by releasing air" , "Let out air or gas from" , "Put down" , "Collapsed due to release of gas" .)
