Light-emitting object containing charged particle is treated as a star (8)
I believe the answer is:
lionised
'treated as a star' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'light-emitting object containing charged particle' is the wordplay.
'light emitting' becomes 'lise' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'object' becomes 'D' (D is an example).
'containing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'charged particle' becomes 'ion' (I've seen this before).
'lise'+'d'='lised'
'lised' going around 'ion' is 'LIONISED'.
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lionised that I've seen before include "Celebrated" , "Made a lot of in a beastly fashion" , "Made to feel like the king of the jungle" , "Treated like celebrity - like Leo?" , "Treated as hero" .)
