Taken to against one’s will, it was slow and boring (7)
I believe the answer is:
dragged
'taken' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dragged that I've seen before include "Hauled" , "Pulled along roughly" , "Trailed" , "Drew slowly or heavily" .)
