'met' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'person with the other paper round' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'person' could be 'pro' (pro is a kind of person) and 'pro' is present in the answer.
'with' could be 'w' (abbreviation) and 'w' is found in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found within the answer.
'round' could be 'o' (round can mean a round object) and 'o' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
