Fiddle with it idly, yet neatly (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tidily

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'yet neatly' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'fiddle with it idly' is the wordplay.
'fiddle with' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'fiddled with' mean this).
'it'+'idly'='itidly'
'itidly' anagrammed gives 'TIDILY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for tidily that I've seen is " In a neat manner".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
