Is such an enemy cursed? (5)
I believe the answer is:
sworn
'cursed?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sworn that I've seen before include "confirmed in office" , "Given under oath" , "Stated on oath" , "promised" , "Affirmed" .)
