Showed Democrat is engaged in fun activity (9)
I believe the answer is:
displayed
'showed' is the definition.
('display' can be a synonym of 'show')
'democrat is engaged in fun activity' is the wordplay.
'democrat' becomes 'd'.
'engaged in fun activity' becomes 'played' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'd'+'is'+'played'='DISPLAYED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for displayed that I've seen before include "Exhibited" , "show" , "revealed" , "Showed" , "Shown publicly" .)
