Tended to send back 75% of puddings after start of dinner (7)
I believe the answer is:
dressed
'tended to' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dressed that I've seen before include "put bandage on" , "Brought into line" , "Wearing clothes" , "Clothed" , "Clad" .)
