Most of latest styles arranged insipidly (11)
I believe the answer is:
tastelessly
'insipidly' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adverbs. Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'most of latest styles arranged' is the wordplay.
'most of' means to remove the last letter.
'arranged' indicates anagramming the letters (letters rearranged).
'latest' with its final letter taken away is 'lates'.
'lates'+'styles'='latesstyles'
'latesstyles' is an anagram of 'TASTELESSLY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
