Like a shady area in which to get lumbered? (6)
I believe the answer is:
wooded
'in which to get lumbered?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'like a shady area' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'area' could be 'wood' (I have seen 'Area of trees ' mean 'wood' so perhaps 'area' could also mean 'wood') and 'wood' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ed' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wooded that I've seen before include "Covered with trees" , "Forested" .)
