Possessed with the idea of being deceived? (3)
I believe the answer is:
had
This clue could be a double definition.
'possessed' is the first definition.
(to have something is to possess it)
'being deceived?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)
'with the idea of' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to one of the definitions.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for had that I've seen before include "Was in possession of" , "Did trick" , "Taken in" , "Possessed; cheated" , "kept" .)
