Fashion filthy place for humble character (7)
I believe the answer is:
modesty
'fashion filthy place' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'humble character' is the wordplay.
'humble' becomes 'modest' (synonyms).
'character' becomes 'y' ().
'modest'+'y'='MODESTY'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for modesty that I've seen before include "Unassuming character" , "Self-deprecating quality" , "Humility; decency" , "Unassumingness" , "Quality of being unpretentious" .)
