Answer
The answer to the clue, Spotted and delayed lad leaving is EYED.
Explanation
The answer to the Spotted and delayed lad leaving is EYED.
The answer "EYED" fits the clue "Spotted and delayed lad leaving" through wordplay and a bit of parsing: In this context, "spotted" means noticed or seen, which relates to the word "eyed" as in having looked at or observed.
The phrase "delayed lad leaving" suggests modifying or removing parts of the word "lad." If we interpret "delayed" as a hint to remove "lad" from a word, we might be looking for a word that fits the description of "spotted" after such modification.
By removing "lad" from the word "delayed" (or in a sense of interpreting "delayed" as a sort of cryptic instruction to focus on the "spotted" meaning), we get "eyed," which fits the definition of "spotted" because to "eye" something is to look at or notice it.
