Document stripped afterwards? Feel embarrassed (6)
I believe the answer is:
writhe
'feel embarrassed' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'document stripped afterwards?' is the wordplay.
'document' becomes 'writ' (writ is a kind of document).
'stripped' means to look at the middle letters.
'afterwards?' becomes 'then' (I've seen this before).
The central letters of 'then' are 'he'.
'writ'+'he'='WRITHE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for writhe that I've seen before include "Contort in pain" , "Wriggle" , "Move sinuously" , "worm" , "Struggle" .)
