Coping in glade, somehow (7)
I believe the answer is:
dealing
'coping' is the definition.
('deal' can be a synonym of 'cope')
'in glade somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'glade'='inglade'
'inglade' is an anagram of 'DEALING'.
(Other definitions for dealing that I've seen before include "Trading" , "Making trades (with cards?)" , "Giving out cards" , "Distributing (cards)" , "Coping" .)
