Managed under cover? (5)
I believe the answer is:
coped
This clue is a double definition.
'managed' is the first definition.
('cope' can be a synonym of 'manage')
'under cover?' is the second definition.
(wearing a cope, a type of cloak)
(Other definitions for coped that I've seen before include "Managed well enough" , "Managed successfully" , "Rose to the occasion" , "Handled" , "as a priest in ceremony?" .)
