Unwisely manipulated tiny red lump (11)
I believe the answer is:
imprudently
'unwisely' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adverbs. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'manipulated tiny red lump' is the wordplay.
'manipulated' is an anagram indicator.
'tiny'+'red'+'lump'='tinyredlump'
'tinyredlump' anagrammed gives 'IMPRUDENTLY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for imprudently that I've seen is " In a foolish manner".)
I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
