Examined origins of surveillance culture with subjective article (6)
I believe the answer is:
scoped
'examined' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are past participle verbs.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'origins of surveillance culture with subjective article' is the wordplay.
'origins of' indicates taking the first letters.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'subjective article' becomes 'oped' (as in a newspaper op-ed. I am not sure about the 'subjective' bit.).
The initial letters of 'surveillance culture' is 'sc'.
'sc'+'oped'='SCOPED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for scoped that I've seen is " Viewed".)
