Tame doc meditates after working (12)
I believe the answer is:
domesticated
'tame' is the definition.
('domesticated' can be similar in meaning to 'tame')
'doc meditates after working' is the wordplay.
'after working' is an anagram indicator.
'doc'+'meditates'='docmeditates'
'docmeditates' anagrammed gives 'DOMESTICATED'.
(Other definitions for domesticated that I've seen before include "(Of an animal) tamed" , "Accustomed to home life" , "House-trained" , "Tamed like a pet" , "Tame" .)
