Varied experience of the removal of moisture from soil (6)
I believe the answer is:
sundry
'varied' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'experience of the removal of moisture from soil' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'from' could be 'un' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'un' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sundry that I've seen before include "Various, assorted" , "Consisting of a haphazard assortment" , "more than a couple" , "Assorted, miscellaneous" , "All and . . . . . . includes everyone" .)
