Reversed with an edge restored? About time (7)
I believe the answer is:
negated
'reversed' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to thinking as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'an edge restored? about time' is the wordplay.
'restored?' indicates anagramming the letters.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'time' becomes 't'.
'an'+'edge'='anedge'
'anedge' anagrammed gives 'negaed'.
'negaed' placed around 't' is 'NEGATED'.
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for negated that I've seen before include "Contradicted" , "Denied" , "Cancelled or destroyed the effect of something" , "Abrogated" , "Discredited" .)
