superb

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

'very nice' is the definition.
'superb' can be an answer for 'nice' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'very' bit.

'new purse and a bottle opener' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'opener' says to take the initial letters.
The first letter of 'bottle' is 'b'.
'purse' with letters rearranged gives 'super'.
'super'+'b'='SUPERB'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for superb that I've seen before include "Impressively splendid" , "Gorgeous" , "Triumphantly effective" , "Highly impressive" , "Quite splendid, really excellent" .)
