Pressed on, fed up now, roving (8)
I believe the answer is:
boredown
'pressed' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'on fed up now roving' is the wordplay.
'on' is an insertion indicator (as in clothing 'on' a person).
'fed up' becomes 'bored' (fed up can mean bored).
'roving' is an anagram indicator.
'now' anagrammed gives 'own'.
'bored' put within 'own' is 'BOREDOWN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
