Bad quality insulin sent as ordered (13)
I believe the answer is:
unsaintliness
'bad quality' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'insulin sent as ordered' is the wordplay.
'ordered' indicates an anagram.
'insulin'+'sent'+'as'='insulinsentas'
'insulinsentas' anagrammed gives 'UNSAINTLINESS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
