Somehow detest being examined (6)
I believe the answer is:
tested
'being examined' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'somehow detest' is the wordplay.
'somehow' is an anagram indicator.
'detest' anagrammed gives 'TESTED'.
(Other definitions for tested that I've seen before include "Put through a trial" , "Subjected to examination, put through paces" , "Probed or analysed" , "critically examined" , "Subjected to examination or trial" .)
