Suppressed joke about greed regularly (6)
I believe the answer is:
gagged
'suppressed' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I don't see how one could define the other.
'joke about greed regularly' is the wordplay.
'joke about' becomes 'gag' (a gag is a joke or witticism. I am not sure about the 'about' bit.).
'regularly' means one should take alternating letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
The alternating letters of 'greed' are 'ged'.
'gag'+'ged'='GAGGED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gagged that I've seen before include "Muffled or retched" , "Silenced" , "Struggled for breath or prevented from speaking out" , "Not allowed to speak out" .)
