Facade awkwardly flat, no rustication initially in it (7)
I believe the answer is:
frontal
'facade' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'awkwardly flat no rustication initially in it' is the wordplay.
'awkwardly' indicates an anagram.
'initially' indicates taking the first letters.
'in it' indicates putting letters inside.
The initial letter of 'rustication' is 'r'.
'flat'+'no'='flatno'
'flatno' anagrammed gives 'fontal'.
'fontal' going around 'r' is 'FRONTAL'.
(Other definitions for frontal that I've seen before include "Decorative church item" , "Directly approaching" , "Relating to the forehead" , "altar covering" , "in the van?" .)
