In unsophisticated fashion clothing from couturier, equally foxy (7)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
crassly
'in unsophisticated fashion clothing from couturier equally foxy' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'clothing from couturier equally foxy' is the wordplay.
'clothing from' means to remove the middle letters (only the letters which 'clothe' the word).
'equally' becomes 'as' (synonyms).
'foxy' becomes 'sly' (synonyms).
'couturier' with its centre taken out is 'cr'.
'cr'+'as'+'sly'='CRASSLY'
Can you help me to learn more?
