A grimy colonel moved in an efficient way (13)
I believe the answer is:
ergonomically
'in an efficient way' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'a grimy colonel moved' is the wordplay.
'moved' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'grimy'+'colonel'='agrimycolonel'
'agrimycolonel' anagrammed gives 'ERGONOMICALLY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for ergonomically that I've seen is " Designed in a way to minimise physical effort".)
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
