Rogue undid chaos surrounding obscurity (9)
I believe the answer is:
muddiness
'obscurity' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'rogue undid chaos surrounding' is the wordplay.
'rogue' is an anagram indicator (letters go rogue).
'chaos' becomes 'mess' (I've seen this before).
'surrounding' indicates putting letters inside.
'undid' is an anagram of 'uddin'.
'uddin' inserted into 'mess' is 'MUDDINESS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for muddiness that I've seen is " confusion".)
