Local regulation we ably amended (6)

I believe the answer is:

byelaw

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'local regulation' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'we ably amended' is the wordplay.
'amended' is an anagram indicator.
'we'+'ably'='weably'
'weably' with letters rearranged gives 'BYELAW'.

Can you help me to learn more?
