Fresh news of "United"? (4)
I believe the answer is:
sewn
'united?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'fresh news' is the wordplay.
'fresh' indicates anagramming the letters (a fresh re-ordering of the letters).
'news' anagrammed gives 'SEWN'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sewn that I've seen before include "Darned" , "done with a needle" , "Given the needle" , "Joined by stitching" , "Fastened with needlework" .)
