Dedicated to being disfranchised? (7)
I believe the answer is:
devoted
'dedicated' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'being disfranchised?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'being' could be 'ted' (Ted is an example) and 'ted' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for devoted that I've seen before include "Loving and loyal" , "Faithful" , "Dedicated or wholly given up to" , "Strongly attached (to)" .)
