Praised in a way that no longer rang out (8)
I believe the answer is:
extolled
'praised in a way that' is the definition.
'extolled' can be an answer for 'praised' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the remainder of the definition.
'no longer rang out' is the wordplay.
'no longer' becomes 'ex'.
'rang out' becomes 'tolled' (tolling is a kind of ringing. I am not sure about the 'out' bit.).
'ex'+'tolled'='EXTOLLED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for extolled that I've seen before include "Sang the praises of" , "Praised highly, lauded" , "Exalted" , "Enthusiastically praised" , "Glorified, lauded" .)
