Am under orders not to carry weapons (7)
I believe the answer is:
unarmed
'not to carry weapons' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'am under orders' is the wordplay.
'orders' indicates anagramming the letters.
'am'+'under'='amunder'
'amunder' with letters rearranged gives 'UNARMED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unarmed that I've seen before include "Not bearing a weapon" , "Not carrying a weapon" , "Maunder along without weapons" , "Lacking a weapon" , "Not able to go into battle" .)
