Drolly licentious in lofty style (6)
I believe the answer is:
lordly
'drolly licentious in lofty style' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'drolly licentious in lofty style' is the wordplay.
'drolly' can be anagrammed to 'LORDLY'.
Though, I am unsure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lordly that I've seen before include "high-handed" , "Acting like a peer of the realm" , "Aristocratic" , "Haughty, lofty" , "Haughty - arrogant" .)
