Like a fun lute composition (7)
I believe the answer is:
tuneful
'like' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'a fun lute composition' is the wordplay.
'composition' is an anagram indicator.
'fun'+'lute'='funlute'
'funlute' anagrammed gives 'TUNEFUL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tuneful that I've seen before include "Melodious" , "Melodic" , "Harmonious" , "Euphonious" , "Euphonic" .)
