Provided a speech to read out (6)
I believe the answer is:
orated
'provided a speech' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'to read out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'to'+'read'='toread'
'toread' anagrammed gives 'ORATED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orated that I've seen before include "made a speech" , "Talked pompously" , "Made speeches" , "Spoke at length" , "lectured" .)
