Article shrewdly rejecting Liberal chaos (7)
I believe the answer is:
anarchy
'chaos' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'article shrewdly' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'shrewdly' becomes 'archy' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'an'+'archy'='ANARCHY'
'rejecting liberal' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for anarchy that I've seen before include "Collapse of order, rule" , "General disorder" , "State of civil disorder" , "State of disorder in society" , "Complete absence of law" .)
