Toured around, maybe, just too upset when got rid of (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
rooted out
'toured around' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'just too upset when got rid of' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'too' is 'oot' which is within the answer.
'when' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is located in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'maybe' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for rooted out that I've seen is " Removed from base".)
