Lofty girl holding broken limb (7)
I believe the answer is:
sublime
'lofty' is the definition.
(I know that lofty can be written as sublime)
'girl holding broken limb' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'sue' (girl's name).
'holding' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'broken' indicates an anagram.
'limb' is an anagram of 'blim'.
'sue' enclosing 'blim' is 'SUBLIME'.
(Other definitions for sublime that I've seen before include "Majestic" , "Transcendent" , "Of great excellence or beauty, awe-inspiring" , "Magnificent" , "Glorious; supreme" .)
