English soldier seen around section is simply ingenious (7)
I believe the answer is:
elegant
'simply ingenious' is the definition.
'english soldier seen around section' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'soldier' becomes 'ant' (soldier is a type of ant).
'seen around' indicates putting letters inside.
'section' becomes 'leg' (as in a section of competition).
'e'+'ant'='eant'
'eant' enclosing 'leg' is 'ELEGANT'.
'is' is the link.
(Other definitions for elegant that I've seen before include "Teen gal (anag.)" , "Graceful - refined" , "Dignified and graceful" , "luxurious style?" , "A gentle way to be stylish" .)
