Badger, badly dressed (6)
I believe the answer is:
garbed
'dressed' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'badger badly' is the wordplay.
'badly' is an anagram indicator.
'badger' anagrammed gives 'GARBED'.
(Other definitions for garbed that I've seen before include "Clothed, dressed" , "Dressed like badger" , "Wearing clothes of distinctive kind" .)
