Clumsy and ugly in an extraordinary way (8)
I believe the answer is:
ungainly
'clumsy and ugly in an extraordinary way' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'clumsy and ugly in an' is the wordplay.
'clumsy' indicates anagramming the letters.
'and' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and').
'an' becomes 'a'.
'n'+'ugly'+'in'+'a'='nuglyina'
'nuglyina' with letters rearranged gives 'UNGAINLY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ungainly that I've seen before include "Clumsy or awkward, as nun gaily goes about" , "Lacking grace in movement" , "Gangling" , "Clumsly, maladroit" , "Physically clumsy or maladroit" .)
