Set out to have nine herds moved (9)
I believe the answer is:
enshrined
'set out' is the definition.
The answer and definition are different parts of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives occasionally mean the same thing.
'nine herds moved' is the wordplay.
'moved' indicates an anagram.
'nine'+'herds'='nineherds'
'nineherds' anagrammed gives 'ENSHRINED'.
'to have' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for enshrined that I've seen is " Dinner she (anag) -- held as sacred".)
