Perhaps I belong in base (7)
I believe the answer is:
ignoble
'base' is the definition.
(both can mean dishonourable or shameful)
'perhaps i belong' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates an anagram.
'i'+'belong'='ibelong'
'ibelong' is an anagram of 'IGNOBLE'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for ignoble that I've seen before include "degenerate" , "Mean - of low birth" , "Not worthy in character or purpose" , "'Far from the madding crowd's . . . . . . . strife'" , "I belong to base sort" .)
