Clearly it has to be ANARCHY (and with the wordplay you suggest - except I think ARCH must = 'expert' rather than 'cunning' (??) ).

But what is the definition?

ANARCHY has nothing to do with 'cunning' or 'abroad', does it? And it's not an &lit definition either.

And if expert = ARCH, what is Cunning there for? (...and if Cunning = ARCH, what is expert doing in the middle there?).

Maybe I'm being dim, but I don't get this at all.
