Cadger is involved in something shameful (8)
I believe the answer is:
disgrace
'something shameful' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'cadger is involved' is the wordplay.
'involved' indicates anagramming the letters (involved can mean confusing or complex).
'cadger'+'is'='cadgeris'
'cadgeris' anagrammed gives 'DISGRACE'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for disgrace that I've seen before include "Bring shame upon" , "Shame or loss of respect" , "Loss of good reputation" , "Loss of reputation as the result of dishonourable action" , "State of dishonour" .)
