Dine with student in New York in orderly manner (6)
I believe the answer is:
neatly
'dine with student in new york in orderly manner' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'dine with student in new york' is the wordplay.
'dine' becomes 'eat' (I've seen this before).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'student' becomes 'l' (as in L-plates for learner drivers).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'new york' becomes 'ny'.
'eat'+'l'='eatl'
'eatl' put within 'ny' is 'NEATLY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for neatly that I've seen before include "Tidily and cleanly" , "In tidy fashion" , "In a tidy way" , "In a tidy manner" , "'Tidily, trimly (6)'" .)
