Nowadays, new drone gets decorated (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adorned

'decorated' is the definition.
('adorn' can be a synonym of 'decorate')

'nowadays new drone gets' is the wordplay.
'nowadays' becomes 'AD' (AD, Anno Domini, as opposed to BC, Before Christ).
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'gets' indicates putting letters inside.
'drone' is an anagram of 'dorne'.
'ad' enclosing 'dorne' is 'ADORNED'.

(Other definitions for adorned that I've seen before include "Bedecked while Don read" , "Embellished, decorated" , "Decorated, bedecked" , "Put on finery" , "done up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
