Without question, veil it discretely when masked by nosegay (10)
I believe the answer is:
positively
'without' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adverbs.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'question veil it discretely when masked by nosegay' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'question' could be 'posit' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'posit' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'veil' is 'ivel' which is within the answer.
A single letter 'y' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
