Stitched from four directions (4)
I believe the answer is:
sewn
'stitched' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'from four directions' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'from' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is located in the answer.
'directions' could be 'sw' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'sw' is found in the remaining letters.
A single letter 'n' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sewn that I've seen before include "Fastened with stitches" , "Needled" , "Made as garment" , "Given the needle" , "Joined with stitches" .)
