Did turn in toboggan (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

swindled

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'did' is the definition.
The definition and answer 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?

'turn in toboggan' is the wordplay.
'turn' becomes 'wind' (I've seen this in another clue).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'toboggan' becomes 'sled' (toboggan is a type of sled).
'wind' inserted within 'sled' is 'SWINDLED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for swindled that I've seen before include "Defrauded" , "Cheated (someone)" , "taken for a ride" , "Ripped off" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
