Outstanding cryptic hint disguised (13)
I believe the answer is:
distinguished
'outstanding' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'cryptic hint disguised' is the wordplay.
'cryptic' indicates anagramming the letters (a cryptic or obscure order of the letters).
'hint'+'disguised'='hintdisguised'
'hintdisguised' with letters rearranged gives 'DISTINGUISHED'.
(Other definitions for distinguished that I've seen before include "like a VIP" , "Uniquely recognised" , "Noble and dignified in appearance" , "Differentiated; eminent" , "Made out; noble" .)
