The lee side rightly described, for starters? Possibly (9)
I believe the answer is:
sheltered
'the lee side rightly described for starters? possibly' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'the lee side rightly described for starters? possibly' is the wordplay.
'for starters?' says to take the initial letters (I've seen 'for starters' mean this).
'possibly' indicates anagramming the letters.
The initial letters of 'side rightly described' is 'srd'.
'the'+'lee'+'srd'='theleesrd'
'theleesrd' is an anagram of 'SHELTERED'.
(Other definitions for sheltered that I've seen before include "Protected or shielded" , "Hidden" , "Protected from danger or bad weather" , "Out of the wind" , "in such accommodation?" .)
