Somewhat flattened round table needs repair (6)
I believe the answer is:
oblate
'somewhat flattened' is the definition.
'oblate' can be an answer for 'flattened' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not certain of the 'somewhat' bit.
'round table needs repair' is the wordplay.
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'needs repair' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'table' anagrammed gives 'blate'.
'o'+'blate'='OBLATE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oblate that I've seen before include "dedicated individual" , "Of spheroid, flattened at the poles" , "a religious person" , "Like earth, flattened at the poles" , "person who's dedicated" .)
