The German lawyer meets our contingent to go over how it might be sweetened (7)
I believe the answer is:
sugared
'be sweetened' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'the german lawyer meets our contingent to go over how it' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'german' could be 'g' (abbreviation) and 'g' is present in the answer.
'over' could be 're' and 're' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'might' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sugared that I've seen before include "Sweetly coated (almond)" , "Sweetened" .)
