Crossword Genius

Hesitant, tidy her assembly (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dithery

'hesitant' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'tidy her assembly' is the wordplay.
'assembly' indicates an anagram.
'tidy'+'her'='tidyher'
'tidyher' anagrammed gives 'DITHERY'.

(Other definitions for dithery that I've seen before include "shaking" , "Hesitant" , "Unsure" , "Quavery" , "Uncertain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
