Recorded as being cut down and processed? (6)
I believe the answer is:
logged
'recorded as' is the definition.
'logged' can be an answer for 'recorded' (logging is a kind of recording). I'm unsure of the 'as' bit.
'cut down and processed?' is the wordplay.
'cut down' becomes 'log' (logging is a kind of cutting down).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'processed?' becomes 'ged' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'log'+'ged'='LOGGED'
'being' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for logged that I've seen before include "Entered in ship's diary" , "Recorded" , "felled" .)
