Notified in hearing when being charged (6)
I believe the answer is:
tolled
'charged' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I can't understand how one could define the other.
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tolled that I've seen before include "Rang, or charged for using" , "Of bell, rang sonorously" , "Made slow sounds" , "Sounded the bell" , "Of bell, rang solemnly" .)
