Rushed, being worried -- always getting blocked in (8)
I believe the answer is:
careered
'rushed' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'worried always getting blocked in' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'always' could be 'eer' (poetic way of saying ever) and 'eer' is found within the answer.
'worried' could be 'cared' and 'cared' is present in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'being' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for careered that I've seen before include "shot" , "Moved swiftly or wildly - on business path?" , "Moved headlong at high speed" , "Moved quickly" .)
