My Word
The answer to this meta (which is five letters long) is what one does with my word (or any other word)

So I still haven't gotten the WSJ Meta Contest of 4/14/23 (I'll take a nudge) so this one is based on a rabbit hole I knew there was no point going down.
The metanism would be quite hard but I put in a lot of meta-meta suggestions to point you in the right direction. I think the grid works very well. As usual my clues run the gamut. I tried to be straightforward, but I can't help but get punchy.

Solved, but it took me longer than it should have!

Okay, I made some quick edits to some noisy clues.
And in a rare decision I chose to change the solution to make the meta harder. This may cause some confusion as the new edits make take time to go into effect.
The new prompt is:
The answer to this meta has two parts: The first part is a word; the second part (which is five letters long) is what one does with my word (or any other word)

I got the second part! Yay!
And I got part 1. Why oh why do I have to make things so complicated??

Okay... I've remodified. THere are two parts to the solution but entering either part is a correct submission. (I thought the second part would be the hard part and the first part the easy but I seem to have it backwards)

I don't think this was an uncomplicated meta.

I came late to this meta, and needed help to solve it. For me this was a SAD (Simple and Difficult) meta. And I sure made it difficult! Fun cluing and clever metanism.

I appreciate the shout-outs in your grid,
@woozy! Now if I could just figure out the meta answer(s)...
