Relieved torment after diamonds were handed over (9)
I believe the answer is:
delivered
'handed over' is the definition.
('deliver' can be a synonym of 'hand over')
'relieved torment after diamonds' is the wordplay.
'torment' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'tormented' mean this).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'diamonds' becomes 'd' (abbreviation in card games).
'relieved' is an anagram of 'delivere'.
'delivere'+'d'='DELIVERED'
'were' is the link.
(Other definitions for delivered that I've seen before include "Brought to a destination" , "Rescued" , "Produced new issue" , "Handed over" , "Saved" .)
