Rounded up but not rounded off (8)
I believe the answer is:
cornered
'rounded up' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cornered that I've seen before include "Caught in position with no escape, like rat" , "Put in a difficult position" , "Unable to escape" , "Having no way out" , "Trapped; rounded a bend" .)
