Daunted for a day (4)
I believe the answer is:
awed
'daunted for' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with human feelings as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'a day' is the wordplay.
'day' becomes 'wed' (abbreviation for Wednesday).
'a'+'wed'='AWED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for awed that I've seen before include "Overcome with reverence or wonder" , "Impressed deeply" , "Struck with fear/wonder" , "was dazzling" , "Made to feel fear/wonder" .)
