Crossword Genius

Lasted out when seasoned (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

salted

'seasoned' is the definition.
(salting is a kind of seasoning)

'lasted out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'lasted' with letters rearranged gives 'SALTED'.

'when' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for salted that I've seen before include "Like some nuts" , "Seasoned, given piquancy; (of meat) preserved" , "Lasted, being preserved" , "cured" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
