Shopped, in a sense (4)
I believe the answer is:
sold
'shopped in a sense' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with ownership as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
This is all the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sold that I've seen before include "Exchanged for money" , "Betrayed for money" , "Disposed of to a purchaser" , "Disposed of for money" , "Retailed" .)
