Way to go from bottom to top in style (4)
I believe the answer is:
elan
'style' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'way to go from bottom to top in' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'e' (Compass direction - East).
'to go from bottom' becomes 'la' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to top' means to remove the first letter.
'in' with its initial letter removed is 'n'.
'e'+'la'+'n'='ELAN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for elan that I've seen before include "Stylish enthusiasm" , "Dash in French lane" , "Flamboyance" , "Style and liveliness" , "Vitality" .)
