Somehow disposed of, one part of armed forces disappeared (7)
I believe the answer is:
raffled
'disappeared' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I can't see how one could define the other.
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for raffled that I've seen is " Offered to chance purchasers".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
