Verse reproduced in colour is set aside (8)
I believe the answer is:
reserved
'set aside' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'verse reproduced in colour' is the wordplay.
'reproduced' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'reproduce' mean this).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'colour' becomes 'red' (red is a kind of colour).
'verse' with letters rearranged gives 'eserv'.
'eserv' going within 'red' is 'RESERVED'.
'is' is the link.
(Other definitions for reserved that I've seen before include "Quiet, not given to showing emotion" , "Spoken for" , "Set aside, earmarked" , "Booked, being unemotional" , "Slow to reveal emotions" .)
