United Nations initially investing in equipment provided by source of talks (7)
I believe the answer is:
knitted
'united' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I can't understand how one could define the other.
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for knitted that I've seen before include "Healed (of wound)" , "Fashioned from wool" , "Made woollen garments" , "Like woollen wear" , "Tied or linked together" .)
