Looked lascivious before being led out (6)
I believe the answer is:
leered
'looked' is the definition.
(leering is a kind of looking)
'before being led out' is the wordplay.
'before' becomes 'ere' (poetic term).
'being led' becomes 'led'.
'out' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'ere' placed within 'led' is 'LEERED'.
'lascivious' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for leered that I've seen before include "Looked and smiled lasciviously" , "Gazed at lasciviously" , "gave a nasty look" , "Looked lecherously" , "Look suggestively" .)
