Made to realise there are wild deer around to take care of (8)
I believe the answer is:
reminded
'made to realise there' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'wild deer around to take care of' is the wordplay.
'wild' indicates anagramming the letters.
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'to take care of' becomes 'mind' ('mind' can be a synonym of 'take care of').
'deer' is an anagram of 'reed'.
'reed' enclosing 'mind' is 'REMINDED'.
'are' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reminded that I've seen before include "Caused someone to remember" , "Prompted" .)
