Bungled by somebody out to etch exceptionally (7)
I believe the answer is:
botched
'bungled' is the definition.
('botch' can be a synonym of 'bungle')
'somebody out to etch exceptionally' is the wordplay.
'somebody' becomes 'bod' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'out' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'exceptionally' indicates an anagram.
'etch' anagrammed gives 'tche'.
'bod' enclosing 'tche' is 'BOTCHED'.
'by' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for botched that I've seen before include "Made a bags of" , "Made a mess of, spoiled by clumsy work" , "Messed up" .)
