'elegant woman mostly packed' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'elegant woman mostly packed' is the wordplay.
'elegant woman' becomes 'grace' (I am not sure about the 'elegant' bit.).
'mostly' means to remove the last letter (most but not all of the word).
'packed' becomes 'full' (synonyms).
'full' with its last letter removed is 'ful'.
'grace'+'ful'='GRACEFUL'

Can you help me to learn more?
