Tidy solution after too much strangeness (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oddity

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'strangeness' is the definition.
(I know that oddity is a type of eccentricity)

'tidy solution after too much' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'tidy' is 'dity' which is located in the answer.
'too much' could be 'od' (abbreviation for overdose) and 'od' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oddity that I've seen before include "Curious thing" , "Quirk" , "Something strange or peculiar" , "rare thing" , "Something out of the ordinary" .)
