Traced, tied, and taken out (5)
I believe the answer is:
drawn
I believe this clue is a triple definition!
'traced' is the first definition.
('draw' can be a synonym of 'trace')
'tied' is the second definition.
(tie can mean to be drawn in sport)
'and' acts as a link.
'taken out' is the third definition.
('draw' can be a synonym of 'take out')
(Other definitions for drawn that I've seen before include "Closed" , "stressed" , "Sketched; pulled" , "27 [ON TOW]," , "Tired and worn" .)
