How the company acts, with no shillyshallying? (6)
I believe the answer is:
firmly
'how' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adverbs. Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'company acts with no shillyshallying?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'company' could be 'firm' (firm can mean a company or business) and 'firm' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for firmly that I've seen before include "fast" , "Strongly" , "With resolute determination" , "Resolutely" .)
