Playing darts, lady is mean and wicked! (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dastardly

'mean and wicked' is the definition.
(dastardly can mean villainous or cruel)

'playing darts lady' is the wordplay.
'playing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'darts'+'lady'='dartslady'
'dartslady' is an anagram of 'DASTARDLY'.

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for dastardly that I've seen before include "Iniquitous" , "contemptible" , "Cruel" , "Cowardly" , "Despicable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
