The way some things are badly grown (5)
I believe the answer is:
wrong
'the way some things' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'badly grown' is the wordplay.
'badly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'grown' is an anagram of 'WRONG'.
'are' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wrong that I've seen before include "Treat unjustly" , "Erronious" , "Failing to come right" , "Unjust - incorrect" , "Incorrect, illegal or immoral" .)
