'under the table' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'turn place setting' is the wordplay.
'setting' indicates anagramming the letters.
'turn'+'place'='turnplace'
'turnplace' with letters rearranged gives 'CRAPULENT'.
