Like modern set design (6)
I believe the answer is:
newest
'like' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'modern set design' is the wordplay.
'modern' becomes 'new' (associated in meaning).
'design' indicates an anagram.
'set' with letters rearranged gives 'est'.
'new'+'est'='NEWEST'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for newest that I've seen before include "Most recent or most fashionable" , "most up-to-date" , "Most original" , "Most recent or least worn" , "Superlatively modern" .)
