Rounded up, were quite unruffled (9)
I believe the answer is:
collected
'unruffled' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for collected that I've seen before include "Also cool and calm?" , "Gathered" , "Brought together" , "Came together" , "composed" .)
