Elegant attorney supports ombudsman's conclusion (5)
I believe the answer is:
natty
'elegant' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'attorney supports ombudsman's conclusion' is the wordplay.
'attorney' becomes 'atty' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'supports' says to put letters next to each other (bottom letters provide a support for the top ones).
'conclusion' suggests the final letters.
The final letter of 'ombudsman' is 'n'.
'atty' put after 'n' is 'NATTY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for natty that I've seen before include "Stylishly dressed" , "Smartly dressed" , "Smart, spruce" , "Smart, fashionable (colloq.)" , "Flashily smart" .)
