To some degree (2,1,3)
'to some degree' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for in a way that I've seen before include "To some degree" , "Sort of, to a limited extent" , "somehow" , "To a certain extent" , "from one point of view" .)
(Other definitions for of sorts that I've seen before include "Of a somewhat inferior kind" , "after a fashion" , "in a way" , "from an inferior class?" .)
