Making too much stewed pear eaten by poet (8)
I believe the answer is:
overpaid
'making too much' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'stewed pear eaten by poet' is the wordplay.
'stewed' is an anagram indicator.
'eaten by' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'poet' becomes 'ovid' (famous Roman poet).
'pear' is an anagram of 'erpa'.
'erpa' placed into 'ovid' is 'OVERPAID'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for overpaid that I've seen before include "Handed over too much money" , "Having salary in excess of one's worth" , "excessively remunerated" , "Given too high a salary" , "Given too much money" .)
