Hurried after, cold and humbled (9)
I believe the answer is:
chastened
'humbled' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'hurried after cold' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'hurried' could be 'hastened' ('hasten' can be a synonym of 'hurry') and 'hastened' is present in the answer.
'cold' could be 'c' (eg on taps) and 'c' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chastened that I've seen before include "Admonished" , "Disciplined and humbled" , "Subdued the pride of, punished" , "Disciplined, punished" , "Contrite" .)
