Ostracised Spanish yes man behind a shop (9)
I believe the answer is:
sidelined
'ostracised' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are past participle verbs.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'spanish yes man behind a shop' is the wordplay.
'spanish yes' becomes 'si' (Yes in Spanish).
'man' becomes 'ned' (man's name).
'behind' says to put letters next to each other.
'a shop' becomes 'deli' (deli is a kind of shop).
'ned' put after 'deli' is 'delined'.
'si'+'delined'='SIDELINED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sidelined that I've seen before include "Prevented from participating" , "Removed from active participation" , "Kept to the periphery" , "Confined to the periphery" , "kicked downstairs" .)
