Raggedness of sides seen in disarray (9)
I believe the answer is:
seediness
'raggedness' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'sides seen in disarray' is the wordplay.
'in disarray' is an anagram indicator.
'sides'+'seen'='sidesseen'
'sidesseen' anagrammed gives 'SEEDINESS'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for seediness that I've seen before include "Sordid or squalid quality" , "Sordidness, grubbiness" .)
