Neatness in using a word erroneously? (5)
I believe the answer is:
order
'neatness' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'in using a word erroneously?' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ORDER' is hidden within 'using word erroneously'.
(Other definitions for order that I've seen before include "Rank" , "Mr Speaker's plea" , "Family - group - arrangement" , "Tidiness - that's a command" , "Call" .)
