'very' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'cross with broken meter in city' is the wordplay.
'cross with' becomes 'x' (an X is a cross. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'broken' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'city' becomes 'ely' (Ely is a city in Cambridgeshire).
'meter' anagrammed gives 'etrem'.
'x' placed within 'etrem' is 'extrem'.
'extrem'+'ely'='EXTREMELY'
