Honoured, you say, in seasoned state (7)
I believe the answer is:
saluted
'honoured' is the definition.
(saluting is a kind of honouring)
'you say in seasoned state' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'you' could be 'u' (commonly used in online communication) and 'u' is located in the answer.
'seasoned' could be 'salted' (salting is a kind of seasoning) and 'salted' is located in the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for saluted that I've seen before include "Greeted or honoured" , "Given a tribute" , "Presented arms" , "Kissed" , "Recognised with a gesture" .)
