Cracked up, oddly enough (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

broken down

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'enough' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'cracked up oddly' is the wordplay.
'cracked' becomes 'broken' (similar in meaning).
'up oddly' becomes 'down' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'broken'+'down'='BROKEN-DOWN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for broken down that I've seen before include "Analysed" , "worn out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
