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

'in effect' is the definition.
'result' can be an answer for 'effect' (synonyms). I am unsure of the 'in' bit.

'a strange lustre' is the wordplay.
'a strange' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lustre' is an anagram of 'RESULT'.

(Other definitions for result that I've seen before include "Verdict" , "Final score" , "Effect of lustre" , "Final outcome" , "Effect - outcome" .)
