Deny client fools around in this way? (10)
I believe the answer is:
indecently
'in this way?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adverbs. Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'deny client fools' is the wordplay.
'fools' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'deny'+'client'='denyclient'
'denyclient' anagrammed gives 'INDECENTLY'.
'around' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for indecently that I've seen is " In an improper manner".)
