Is prosecuted and discharged (6)
I believe the answer is:
issued
'discharged' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to change as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'is prosecuted' is the wordplay.
'prosecuted' becomes 'sued' (I've seen this in another clue).
'is'+'sued'='ISSUED'
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for issued that I've seen before include "Turned out" , "Published and came forth" , "Having come out" , "Circulated, a statement perhaps" , "Brought out a publication" .)
