rowdy

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

'loud' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'disorderly line diplomatically eviscerated' is the wordplay.
'disorderly line' becomes 'row' (a row or line of things. I am not sure about the 'disorderly' bit.).
'eviscerated' means to remove the middle letters (the word is disembowelled of its inside letters).
'diplomatically' with its centre taken out is 'dy'.
'row'+'dy'='ROWDY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rowdy that I've seen before include "Uproarious" , "yob" , "Loud and disorderly" , "Raucous" , "Noisy and unruly" .)
