Uttered by a dove flying around, I see (6)
I believe the answer is:
voiced
'uttered' is the definition.
(voicing is a kind of uttering)
'a dove flying around i see' is the wordplay.
'flying' indicates anagramming the letters (letters fly around into new positions).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'see' becomes 'C' (the word for the letter, according to Chambers).
'dove' anagrammed gives 'voed'.
'i'+'c'='ic'
'voed' enclosing 'ic' is 'VOICED'.
'by' is the link.
(Other definitions for voiced that I've seen before include "Said aloud" , "Sounded, uttered" , "Uttered, expressed" , "Articulated" , "Expressed in speech" .)
