akimbo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'way?' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Way of standing' mean 'akimbo' so perhaps 'way' could also mean 'akimbo')

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for akimbo that I've seen before include "Stance with hands on hips" , "Ballet step" , "Hands-on-hips" , "With hands on hips and elbows turned outwards" , "(Standing) with hand on hips" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
