Surrounded by mist, agreement was badly distributed (8)
I believe the answer is:
misdealt
'badly distributed' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with ownership as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'surrounded by mist agreement' is the wordplay.
'surrounded by' indicates putting letters inside (I've seen this in other clues).
'agreement' becomes 'deal' (deal is a kind of agreement).
'mist' enclosing 'deal' is 'MISDEALT'.
'was' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for misdealt that I've seen before include "served improperly at table?" , "not properly shared out" , "placed on table inappropriately" .)
