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

'draw out' is the definition.
(I know that draw out can be written as elicit)

'notedly lawful' is the wordplay.
'notedly' becomes 'e' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'lawful' becomes 'licit' (synonyms).
'e'+'licit'='ELICIT'

'what is' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for elicit that I've seen before include "Draw out or bring forth" , "Get out" , "Draw out, call forth" , "Obtain" , "Extract" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
