Ross

I believe the answer is:

nugget

'gold' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'arranged tune vice-regal in' is the wordplay.
'arranged' indicates anagramming the letters.
'vice-regal' becomes 'gg' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'tune' anagrammed gives 'nuet'.
'nuet' placed around 'gg' is 'NUGGET'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nugget that I've seen before include "Followed on" , "Lump (of gold, etc)" , "quantity of gold?" , "bit of gold" , "Lump of, eg, gold" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
