Home at apartment, put on lady’s clothing, in a way not fitting (7)
I believe the answer is:
inaptly
'a way not fitting' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'home at apartment put on lady's clothing' is the wordplay.
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'apartment' becomes 'apt' (abbreviation in property ads for example).
'put on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'clothing' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters).
'lady' with its centre removed is 'ly'.
'in'+'apt'+'ly'='INAPTLY'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inaptly that I've seen before include "In an unfit state" , "Unfortunately" , "Unsuitably" , "Not fittingly" , "Inappropriately" .)
