Way the wayward Mod gets around (6)
I believe the answer is:
method
'way' is the definition.
(method is a kind of way)
'the wayward mod gets around' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'the' is 'eth' which is present in the answer.
'around' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for method that I've seen before include "'Means, way of achieving (6)'" , "Orderliness (of thought or behaviour)" , "Systematic way of doing something" , "Type of acting" , "Way of doing something, technique" .)
