Made to pay (5)
I believe the answer is:
fined
'made' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fined that I've seen before include "Imposed financial penalty on" , "Mulcted" , "Fed in (anag.)" , "Ordered to pay penalty" .)
