More or less right to leave time to enter elegantly (6)
I believe the answer is:
neatly
'elegantly' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
(Other definitions for neatly that I've seen before include "Orderly and cleanly" , "In a tidy way" , "'Tidily, trimly (6)'" , "In a tidy manner" , "nicely" .)
