Pleased man given coffee (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flattered

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'man given coffee' is the wordplay.
'man' becomes 'fred' (I've seen this before).
'given' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'coffee' becomes 'latte' (type of coffee drink).
'fred' enclosing 'latte' is 'FLATTERED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for flattered that I've seen before include "Soft-soaped" , "Blandished" , "Praise somewhat dishonestly" , "Treated to insincere praise" , "Praised excessively" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
