Broken sled discovered in ado (6)
I believe the answer is:
bustle
'ado' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'broken sled discovered' is the wordplay.
'broken' becomes 'bust' (I've seen this before).
'discovered' indicates the central letters.
The middle letters of 'sled' are 'le'.
'bust'+'le'='BUSTLE'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for bustle that I've seen before include "Attachment to a Victorian woman" , "Subtle kind of hubbub" , "Hustle and fuss" , "Busy oneself noisily about the former feature of women's dress" , "Hurry, scramble" .)
