I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

If this is the answer I cannot explain how the clue works.

(Other definitions for bayed that I've seen before include "Made a lot of noise" , "yielded bark" , "(Of a dog) howled loudly" , "Gave deep cry of a large hunting dog" , "Howled like wolf at moon" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
