Expose quiet individual getting overshadowed (8)
I believe the answer is:
outshone
'overshadowed' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'expose quiet individual getting' is the wordplay.
'expose' becomes 'out' (to out someone is to expose them).
'quiet' becomes 'sh' (both can be said to tell someone to be quiet).
'individual' becomes 'one' (an individual is one person).
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'out'+'sh'+'one'='OUTSHONE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for outshone that I've seen before include "Made better or brighter impression than" , "Dwarfed" .)
