Tied up Edward around that place (8)
I believe the answer is:
tethered
'tied up' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'edward around that place' is the wordplay.
'edward' becomes 'ted'.
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'that place' becomes 'there' (I've seen this before).
'ted' placed around 'there' is 'TETHERED'.
(Other definitions for tethered that I've seen before include "Tied to something with a rope" , "Of animal, with rope fastened to prevent straying" , "on a leash" , "Of animal, secured or hobbled" , "Tied (animals) up" .)
