lustre

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'glossy appearance' is the definition.
'lustre' can be an answer for 'appearance' (lustre is a kind of appearance). I am not sure about the 'glossy' bit.

'result strangely' is the wordplay.
'strangely' indicates an anagram.
'result' anagrammed gives 'LUSTRE'.

'in a' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lustre that I've seen before include "Gentle sheen, soft glow" , "Gloss, brightness" , "Radiance; reflective surface" , "Result (anag) -- gloss" , "Polish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
