Tip: marry after ring is financed (7)
I believe the answer is:
endowed
'financed' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with ownership as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'tip marry after ring' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'tip' could be 'end' (tip can mean the end of something) and 'end' is found within the answer.
'marry' could be 'wed' (synonyms) and 'wed' is located in the answer.
'ring' could be 'o' (letter resembling a ring) and 'o' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for endowed that I've seen before include "Invested" , "Bequeathed income to" , "Left" , "Given, bequeathed" , "funded" .)
