I believe the answer is:

taken in

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

This could be a double definition.

'given shelter' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to change as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'deceived' is the second definition.
(taking in is a kind of deceiving)

'but' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for taken in that I've seen before include "Fooled -- assimilated" , "hoodwinked" , "Deceived - given hospitality" , "Conned" , "Admitted - received - deceived" .)
