Red in face as lord if sozzled (6)
I believe the answer is:
florid
'red in face' is the definition.
'florid' can be an answer for 'red'. I'm unsure of the 'in face' bit.
'lord if sozzled' is the wordplay.
'sozzled' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lord'+'if'='lordif'
'lordif' is an anagram of 'FLORID'.
'as' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for florid that I've seen before include "Pink or ruddy in complexion" , "(Of language) flowery" , "Red-faced, flushed" , "With flushed complexion" , "Ruddy in appearance" .)
