If done it could be reported (8)
I believe the answer is:
notified
'reported' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'if done it could be' is the wordplay.
'could be' is an anagram indicator.
'if'+'done'+'it'='ifdoneit'
'ifdoneit' with letters rearranged gives 'NOTIFIED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for notified that I've seen before include "Informed, reported to" , "Officially informed" , "Formally informed" , "Told, informed" .)
