Taken in by a fence? (8)
I believe the answer is:
received
'taken in' is the definition.
('receive' can be a synonym of 'take in')
'a fence?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'fence?' could be 'receive' (fencing is a kind of receiving) and 'receive' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'd' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'by' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for received that I've seen before include "Accepted from another" , "Was given" , "Came into possession of" , "Got" .)
