'constantly asked' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'egg and nuts' is the wordplay.
'nuts' indicates anagramming the letters (nuts can mean crazy).
'egg'+'and'='eggand'
'eggand' anagrammed gives 'NAGGED'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
