Like section of army team, linger appallingly (10)
I believe the answer is:
regimental
'like section of army' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'team linger appallingly' is the wordplay.
'appallingly' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'team'+'linger'='teamlinger'
'teamlinger' is an anagram of 'REGIMENTAL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for regimental that I've seen is " Of a large army unit".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
