Stared at Rodriguez after close shave, it's said (9)
I believe the answer is:
eyeballed
'stared at' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eyeballed that I've seen before include "Watched" , "confronted" , "looked at" , "Stared at" .)
