Acceptably; but, to one person, lazily (7)
I believe the answer is:
validly
'acceptably' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adverbs. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'to one person lazily' is the wordplay.
'to one person' becomes 'val' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'lazily' becomes 'idly' (synonyms).
'val'+'idly'='VALIDLY'
'but' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for validly that I've seen before include "Legitimately" , "in lawful way" .)
