Uniform but disordered? (6)
I believe the answer is:
livery
This clue could be a double definition.
'uniform' is the first definition.
(livery is a type of formal uniform)
'disordered?' is the second definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'but' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for livery that I've seen before include "Uniform -- suffering from gastric distress" , "Uniform worn by menservants, chauffeurs, etc, often part of a retinue" , "Horse maintenance" , "Distinctive uniform once worn by servants of posh people" , "Uniform worn by male servants" .)
