Laughed at, playing the role of Cinderella? (6)
I believe the answer is:
ragged
'laughed at' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ragged that I've seen before include "down at heel" , "Teased; untidy; badly dressed" , "Threadbare" , "Describes worn or torn clothes" , "Scruffy" .)
