Veil made differently in the Middle Ages (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

medieval

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'middle ages' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'veil made differently' is the wordplay.
'differently' indicates anagramming the letters.
'veil'+'made'='veilmade'
'veilmade' anagrammed gives 'MEDIEVAL'.

'in the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for medieval that I've seen before include "Of an earlier period" , "Of the middle ages, or really old-fashioned" , "Am veiled in style of the middle ages" , "Belonging to the Middle Ages" , "Relating to the Middle Ages" .)
