netted

'made' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'a profit getting rid of prams from departments' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'profit' could be 'net' (netting is a kind of profiting) and 'net' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ted' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for netted that I've seen before include "caught in the wet?" , "Captured" , "Trapped" , "Gained as profit" , "Caught (like butterfly)" .)
