Made cow get hitched under one? (4)

I believe the answer is:

awed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'made cow' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'hitched under one?' is the wordplay.
'hitched' becomes 'wed' (I've seen this in another clue).
'under' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, some letters go below others).
'one?' becomes 'a' (a thing is one thing).
'wed' after 'a' is 'AWED'.

'get' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for awed that I've seen before include "Overcome with wonder or amazement" , "Wade about, filled with wonder" , "Filled with fear and wonder" , "Made to feel fear/wonder" , "Impressed deeply" .)
