Dubious distaste for the most stiff and starchy (8)
I believe the answer is:
staidest
'the most stiff and starchy' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'dubious distaste' is the wordplay.
'dubious' indicates anagramming the letters.
'distaste' anagrammed gives 'STAIDEST'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for staidest that I've seen is " very dull".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
