Back to front objects without style (7)
I believe the answer is:
endways
'back' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adverbs. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'front objects without style' is the wordplay.
'front objects' becomes 'ends' (I've seen this in other clues. I am not sure about the 'front' bit.).
'without' indicates putting letters inside ('without' can be similar in meaning to 'outside').
'style' becomes 'way' (synonyms).
'ends' placed around 'way' is 'ENDWAYS'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for endways that I've seen before include "Not side on" , "Lengthwise" , "Not sideways/lengthways" , "Turned up" , "as a departing bus is seen" .)
