Excluded unfashionable actors (7)
I believe the answer is:
outcast
'excluded' is the definition.
The answer and definition are different parts of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives can sometimes define each other.
'unfashionable actors' is the wordplay.
'unfashionable' becomes 'out' (synonyms).
'actors' becomes 'cast' (I've seen this before).
'out'+'cast'='OUTCAST'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for outcast that I've seen before include "One excluded from group" , "One banished from society" , "One is excluded from society" , "One has been rejected by friends or society" , "Person rejected by a group or society" .)
