Was not the first to have made good (9)
I believe the answer is:
succeeded
'made good' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with social activities as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for succeeded that I've seen is " Came into a title".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
