Ordains an arrangement for smoothing things out (7)
I believe the answer is:
sadiron
'smoothing things out' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'ordains an arrangement' is the wordplay.
'an arrangement' is an anagram indicator.
'ordains' with letters rearranged gives 'SADIRON'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sadiron that I've seen before include "From one pressing heavily" , "I may smooth things over" , "Smoother" , "for evening use" , "Ordains (anag.)" .)
