Military adornment from Nepal duly better with all ends cut off (9)
I believe the answer is:
epaulette
'duly better with all ends cut off' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'military adornment from nepal' is the wordplay.
'military adornment' becomes 'epaulet' (I've seen this in another clue).
'from' says to put letters next to each other.
'nepal' becomes 'te' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'epaulet'+'te'='EPAULETTE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for epaulette that I've seen before include "Flashing of the shoulder" , "Shoulder decoration" , "Shoulder adornment" , "Military shoulderpiece" , "rank stars here?" .)
