Elegant and well-seasoned (8)
I believe the answer is:
tasteful
This clue could be a double definition.
'elegant' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)
'well-seasoned' is the second definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tasteful that I've seen before include "Showing good aesthetic judgement" , "with discrimination" , "Decorous" , "Refined, not tawdry" , "Discriminating" .)
