vivid

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'very clear' is the definition.
'vivid' can be an answer for 'clear' (similar in meaning). I am not certain of the 'very' bit.

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for vivid that I've seen before include "Brilliant" , "Graphic" , "Very bright and colourful" , "Intense" , "Intensely deep/bright" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
