aden

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'port' is the definition.
(port in Yemen)

'a degree of decadence' is the wordplay.
'ADEN' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I'm uncertain how this is indicated.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aden that I've seen before include "Yemeni gulf" , "Main port of Yemen" , "somewhere on the Arabian peninsula" , "Strange Dane to be in the Yemen" , "Dean out in the seaport city" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
