With hands on hips and elbows bent outward (6)
I believe the answer is:
akimbo
'with hands on hips and elbows bent outward' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for akimbo that I've seen before include "Ballet step" , "Position with hands on hips" , "Hands-on-hips" , "With hands on hips and elbows extending outward" , "Bent outwards (as limbs)" .)
