Broken bed removed from bundle - terrible! Illegal! (8)
I believe the answer is:
unlawful
'illegal' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)
'broken bed removed from bundle terrible' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'terrible' could be 'awful' (synonyms) and 'awful' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unlawful that I've seen before include "Illegal" , "Illegitimate" , "not right" , "Illicit" , "Prohibited by legislation" .)
