Shiftless, even today? (5)
I believe the answer is:
still
This clue might be a double definition.
'shiftless' is the first definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'even today?' is the second definition.
'still' can be an answer for 'even' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not sure about the 'today?' bit.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for still that I've seen before include "Undisturbed < , yet" , "Even now; not moving" , "Motionless, inactive" , "Calm - even so" , "subdued" .)
