Playfully fanciful (9)
I believe the answer is:
whimsical
'playfully fanciful' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for whimsical that I've seen before include "Quaintly fantastic" , "Capricious" , "Fanciful or playful" , "odd" , "Appealingly fanciful" .)
