Splendidly fly around, in a way (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

finely

'splendidly' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'fly around in a way' is the wordplay.
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a way' becomes 'e' (Compass direction - East).
'in'+'e'='ine'
'fly' going around 'ine' is 'FINELY'.

(Another definition for finely that I've seen is " Delicately".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
