Veal ruins fancy blanket (9)
I believe the answer is:
universal
'blanket' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'veal ruins fancy' is the wordplay.
'fancy' indicates an anagram.
'veal'+'ruins'='vealruins'
'vealruins' anagrammed gives 'UNIVERSAL'.
(Other definitions for universal that I've seen before include "Film producer" , "Common" , "for general viewing" , "Ubiquitous" , "Widespread, worldwide" .)
