Read incorrectly about the remainder being pinched (8)
I believe the answer is:
arrested
'pinched' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'read incorrectly about the remainder' is the wordplay.
'incorrectly' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'the remainder' becomes 'rest' (synonyms).
'read' is an anagram of 'ared'.
'ared' placed around 'rest' is 'ARRESTED'.
'being' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for arrested that I've seen before include "Taken into custody, being serrated" , "Stopped - took into custody" , "stalled" , "Taken into police custody" , "Apprehended by police" .)
