Supposed to have been overbold (8)
I believe the answer is:
presumed
'supposed' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for presumed that I've seen before include "Taken for granted" , "Supposed" , "thought" , "expected" , "Was impertinent" .)
