Did boss make too deep cuts? (7)
I believe the answer is:
oversaw
'did' is the definition.
The definition and answer 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 don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oversaw that I've seen before include "Supervised" , "What supervisor did" , "watcher" , "Managed" .)
