Somehow detest being put on trial (6)
I believe the answer is:
tested
'put on trial' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'somehow detest' is the wordplay.
'somehow' is an anagram indicator.
'detest' is an anagram of 'TESTED'.
'being' is the link.
(Other definitions for tested that I've seen before include "Proved" , "Subjected to examination, put through paces" , "Subjected to examination or trial" , "Measured for quality or reliability" , "critically examined" .)
