Not quite prim, and a bit fussy? (6)
I believe the answer is:
prissy
'fussy?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'not quite prim and a bit' is the wordplay.
'not quite' means to remove the last letter (most but not all of the word).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'a bit' becomes 'ssy' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'prim' with its final letter taken away is 'pri'.
'pri'+'ssy'='PRISSY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for prissy that I've seen before include "Prudishly fussy" , "Disliking what is rough or improper" , "Strait-laced" , "Overly prim and proper" , "Fussy and prudish" .)
