Where we live, yard is somewhat coarse (6)
I believe the answer is:
earthy
'coarse' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'where we live yard is somewhat' is the wordplay.
'where we live' becomes 'earth' (I've seen this before).
'yard' becomes 'yd' (abbreviation).
'is somewhat' means to remove the last letter (some but not all of the word).
'yd' with its final letter taken away is 'y'.
'earth'+'y'='EARTHY'
(Other definitions for earthy that I've seen before include "Unenthusiastic" , "Consisting of soil" , "Task involving short journey" , "Coarse as humour may be" , "Coarse like clay" .)
