Home at apartment, put on lady’s clothing, in a way not fitting (7)
I believe the answer is:
inaptly
'a way not fitting' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'home at apartment put on lady's clothing' is the wordplay.
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'apartment' becomes 'apt' (abbreviation in property ads for example).
'put on' says to put letters next to each other.
'clothing' means to remove the middle letters.
'lady' with its middle removed is 'ly'.
'in'+'apt'+'ly'='INAPTLY'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inaptly that I've seen before include "In an unfit state" , "Unfortunately" , "Unsuitably" , "Not fittingly" , "Inappropriately" .)
