Mode; elegance (5)
I believe the answer is:
style
This clue is a double definition.
'mode' is the first definition.
(I know that mode can be written as style)
'elegance' is the second definition.
(I know that style is a type of elegance)
(Other definitions for style that I've seen before include "Mode; fashionableness" , "Characteristic manner" , "Method; elegance" , "approach?" , "Distinctive arrangement, elegance" .)
