Hurt after a sober type becomes engaged? (8)
I believe the answer is:
attached
'engaged?' is the definition.
('attached' can be similar in meaning to 'engaged')
'hurt after a sober' is the wordplay.
'hurt' becomes 'ached' (I've seen this in another clue).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'sober' becomes 'tt' (I've seen this in other clues).
'a'+'tt'='att'
'ached' put after 'att' is 'ATTACHED'.
'type becomes' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for attached that I've seen before include "Appended or added to" , "in a relationship" , "Fond and affectionate (to)" , "Spoken for" , "Fastened together, joined to" .)
