Punished, the way one is in being pursued (9)
I believe the answer is:
chastised
'punished' is the definition.
('chastised' can be similar in meaning to 'punished')
'the way one is in being pursued' is the wordplay.
'the way' becomes 'st' (**).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'is in' is an insertion indicator.
'being pursued' becomes 'chased' (I've seen this before).
'st'+'i'='sti'
'sti' placed within 'chased' is 'CHASTISED'.
(Other definitions for chastised that I've seen before include "Sad ethics (anag.)" , "Severely reprimanded" , "beaten" , "Rebuked" .)
