Mended the tent the kid had damaged (7)
I believe the answer is:
knitted
'damaged' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'mended the tent the kid' is the wordplay.
'mended' is an anagram indicator.
'tent'+'kid'='tentkid'
'tentkid' anagrammed gives 'KNITTED'.
'had' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for knitted that I've seen before include "Healed (of wound)" , "Made a wool garment" , "Made a jumper" , "Made woollen garments" , "Woven from wool" .)
