'dishevelled but all in one piece' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs can sometimes mean the same thing.

'got there quite' is the wordplay.
'got there' can be anagrammed to 'TOGETHER'.
But, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for together that I've seen before include "In combination" , "In each other's company" , "stable" , "In unison" , "Well-balanced" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
