Leg in a net, tangled up -- graceless (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inelegant

'graceless' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'leg in a net tangled up' is the wordplay.
'tangled up' is an anagram indicator.
'leg'+'in'+'a'+'net'='leginanet'
'leginanet' is an anagram of 'INELEGANT'.

(Other definitions for inelegant that I've seen before include "Ugly" , "Unpolished" , "not the herb of grace?" , "far from chic" , "ungainly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
