gleaned

'one gathered' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'the wild gale came to a strange end' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'gale' is 'glea' which is within the answer.
an anagram of 'end' is 'ned' which is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gleaned that I've seen before include "Harvested, gathered" , "Found out" , "A legend (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
