Ordered to make a bed? (4)
I believe the answer is:
bade
'ordered' is the definition.
(past tense of 'bid' as in to order)
'make a bed?' is the wordplay.
'make' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'bed'='abed'
'abed' with letters rearranged gives 'BADE'.
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for bade that I've seen before include "Commanded with bead" , "Invited" , "Ordered" .)
