Fragile insect around is getting maiden hiding (6)
I believe the answer is:
flimsy
'fragile' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'insect around is getting maiden hiding' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'maiden' could be 'm' (cricket abbreviation) and 'm' is found within the answer.
'is' is found in the answer.
'insect' could be 'fly' (fly is a kind of insect) and 'fly' is located in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for flimsy that I've seen before include "Fragile; weak" , "Lightweight" , "Light and thin, fragile" , "Not strong" , "Fragile, of loose structure" .)
