notified

'reported' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'if done it might be' is the wordplay.
'might be' indicates anagramming the letters.
'if'+'done'+'it'='ifdoneit'
'ifdoneit' anagrammed gives 'NOTIFIED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for notified that I've seen before include "Informed, reported to" , "Formally informed" , "Told, informed" , "Officially informed" .)
