I shouted to be heard, being under close scrutiny (9)
I believe the answer is:
eyeballed
'i shouted to be heard being under close scrutiny' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'i shouted to be heard' is the wordplay.
'i' becomes 'eye' (I've seen this in other clues).
'shouted' becomes 'bawled' (I've seen this before).
'to be heard' shows a homophone (sound like).
'bawled' is a homophone of 'balled'.
'eye'+'balled'='EYEBALLED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eyeballed that I've seen before include "Watched" , "confronted" , "looked at" , "Stared at" .)
