Well, not less than famously (4)
I believe the answer is:
ably
'well' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ably that I've seen before include "In capable manner" , "well" , "Masterfully" , "Competently" , "In a competent fashion" .)
