New denture given permanent position (7)
I believe the answer is:
tenured
'given permanent position' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with social activities as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'new denture' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'denture' with letters rearranged gives 'TENURED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tenured that I've seen before include "having secure job" , "Holding a permanent post" , "Unlikely to be removed from office" , "with a job for life?" .)
