'was' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'part of internet node corrupted when deleting a name' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'part' could be 'te' (te is a kind of part) and 'te' is found in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
'internet' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is found in the answer.
'when' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is found in the answer.
'name' could be 'di' and 'di' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
