Writing censored by editor taken to court (10)
I believe the answer is:
prosecuted
'taken to court' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with social activities as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'writing censored by editor' is the wordplay.
'writing' becomes 'prose' (I've seen this in another clue).
'censored by' becomes 'cut' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'editor' becomes 'ed' (abbreviation).
'prose'+'cut'+'ed'='PROSECUTED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for prosecuted that I've seen before include "carried on" , "Summoned" .)
