Unexcited on the way to a meeting (6)
I believe the answer is:
sedate
'unexcited' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'the way to a meeting' is the wordplay.
'the way to' becomes 'se' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'a meeting' becomes 'date' (date is a kind of meeting).
'se'+'date'='SEDATE'
'on' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sedate that I've seen before include "Leisurely" , "Unexciting" , "Dignified - staid" , "Staid - tranquillise" , "Administer a calming drug" .)
