Working under dame was not imagined (9)
I believe the answer is:
undreamed
'not imagined' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs can sometimes mean the same thing.
'working under dame' is the wordplay.
'working' indicates anagramming the letters.
'under'+'dame'='underdame'
'underdame' is an anagram of 'UNDREAMED'.
'was' acts as a link.
