In SE Milan, somehow seedy, in a sense (7)
I believe the answer is:
seminal
'in' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'se milan somehow seedy in a sense' is the wordplay.
'se milan' can be anagrammed to 'SEMINAL'.
But, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for seminal that I've seen before include "Generating new developments for menials" , "Original and influential" , "Having strong later influence" , "Majorly influential" , "Strongly influential" .)
