State of ruin in Paris dire, unfortunately (9)
I believe the answer is:
disrepair
'state of ruin' is the definition.
'paris dire unfortunately' is the wordplay.
'unfortunately' indicates an anagram (a bad or unfortunate spelling).
'paris'+'dire'='parisdire'
'parisdire' with letters rearranged gives 'DISREPAIR'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for disrepair that I've seen before include "In need of mending" , "state of neglect" , "Degradation" , "Poor working order" , "Poor condition" .)
