formed

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

'made' is the definition.
(forming is a kind of making)

'me wade round' is the wordplay.
'wade' becomes 'ford' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'round' indicates putting letters inside.
'me' put into 'ford' is 'FORMED'.

Can you help me to learn more?
