Uttered by a dove flying around, I see (6)
I believe the answer is:
voiced
'uttered' is the definition.
(voicing is a kind of uttering)
'a dove flying around i see' is the wordplay.
'flying' indicates anagramming the letters.
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'see' becomes 'c' (the word for the letter, according to Chambers).
'dove' anagrammed gives 'voed'.
'i'+'c'='ic'
'voed' placed around 'ic' is 'VOICED'.
'by' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for voiced that I've seen before include "Said aloud" , "Sounded, uttered" , "Uttered, expressed" , "Articulated" , "Expressed in speech" .)
