Hated examination indeed! (8)
I believe the answer is:
detested
'hated' is the definition.
(I know that hated can be written as detested)
'examination indeed' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'examination' could be 'test' (synonyms) and 'test' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'deed' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for detested that I've seen before include "Despised" , "Abhorred" , "Unpopular" , "Greatly hated" , "Couldn't stand trial" .)
