Cultivated establishment finally closed (6)
I believe the answer is:
tended
'cultivated' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with social activities as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'establishment finally closed' is the wordplay.
'finally' indicates one should take the final letters.
'closed' becomes 'ended' (I've seen this in another clue).
The last letter of 'establishment' is 't'.
't'+'ended'='TENDED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tended that I've seen before include "Was inclined to have taken care of" , "Nursed" , "Inclined or leaned towards" , "Took care of, had certain inclination" , "Was apt" .)
