Imprisoned felon given further penalty? (8)
I believe the answer is:
confined
'imprisoned' is the definition.
(I know that imprisoned can be written as confined)
'felon given further penalty?' is the wordplay.
'felon' becomes 'con' (abbreviation for 'convict').
'given further penalty?' becomes 'fined' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'con'+'fined'='CONFINED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for confined that I've seen before include "Kept within limits" , "deprived of freedom" , "Imprisoned or limited in space" , "Enclosed, cramped" , "Not free to move about" .)
