Elegant - like a female doctor? (6)
I believe the answer is:
dressy
'elegant' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'like a female doctor?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'like' could be 'y' (similar in meaning) and 'y' is found within the answer.
'doctor?' could be 'dr' (abbreviation) and 'dr' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ess' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dressy that I've seen before include "Formal or elegant" , "Nattily attired, wearing stylish clothes" , "Smartly clad, wearing stylish clothes" , "Wearing stylish clothing" , "Stylishly attired" .)
