Afflicted in Paris — cold, shivering (9)
I believe the answer is:
dropsical
'afflicted' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'paris cold shivering' is the wordplay.
'shivering' is an anagram indicator.
'paris'+'cold'='pariscold'
'pariscold' is an anagram of 'DROPSICAL'.
'in' is the link.
