Mourned deeply, unfortunately little engaged? (13)
I believe the answer is:
underemployed
'little engaged?' is the definition.
The answer and definition are different parts of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs can occasionally define each other.
'mourned deeply unfortunately' is the wordplay.
'unfortunately' is an anagram indicator (a bad or unfortunate spelling).
'mourned'+'deeply'='mourneddeeply'
'mourneddeeply' anagrammed gives 'UNDEREMPLOYED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for underemployed that I've seen before include "Not having enough work" , "Not used enough" , "Not fully made use of" , "Not fully occupied with work" , "Having too little work" .)
