Looked away from second of picadors wounded by bull -- ring's third piercing (7)
I believe the answer is:
ignored
'looked away' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with perception as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'second of picadors wounded by bull ring's third piercing' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'second' could be 'd' and 'd' is present in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'ring' is 'ignr' which is within the remaining letters.
A single letter 'e' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ignored that I've seen before include "Paid no heed" , "Shunned" , "Left out in the cold" , "Neglected" , "Snubbed" .)
