Fancy solitude, beginning to yawn as if boring (9)
I believe the answer is:
tediously
'if boring' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'fancy solitude beginning to yawn' is the wordplay.
'fancy' is an anagram indicator.
'beginning to' says to take the initial letters.
The first letter of 'yawn' is 'y'.
'solitude' with letters rearranged gives 'tediousl'.
'tediousl'+'y'='TEDIOUSLY'
'as' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tediously that I've seen before include "in a way sleep-inducing?" , "in a laborious way" .)
