'stylish' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'fellow i arranged to meet and terrorised' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'fellow' could be 'date' (date is a kind of fellow) and 'date' is found in the answer.
'i' is within the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'timid' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
