Looked over beds badly made (8)
I believe the answer is:
observed
'looked' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to thinking as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'over beds badly made' is the wordplay.
'badly made' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'over'+'beds'='overbeds'
'overbeds' is an anagram of 'OBSERVED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for observed that I've seen before include "Said" , "Ascertained by sight" , "celebrated" , "with witnesses" , "Noticed or remarked" .)
