In the hammock Edmund scoffed (6)
I believe the answer is:
mocked
'scoffed' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'in the hammock edmund' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'MOCKED' is hidden within 'hammock edmund'.
(Other definitions for mocked that I've seen before include "made fun of" , "Derided, scoffed at" , "Taunted, derided" , "Imitated with derision" , "Scorned" .)
