Skilfully Asians wriggled out of island safety arrangement (6)
I believe the answer is:
deftly
'skilfully' is the definition.
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for deftly that I've seen before include "With dexterity" , "With skill" , "Handily, cleverly" , "Quickly and skillfully" .)
