I'm struggling - less than a dozen solved so far. In 10a is "indelicacy" or "aristocracy" the definition part of the clue please?

Still can't get it - tried all the anagram combinations but nothing fits with 5d. What am I missing? (besides a brain!!)

Thanks K - it didn't help that I had 1d wrong! I'm on a roll now that I've got the title.

Grid complete! Do the 10 letters in row 5 have to be highlighted? Also what is the significance of 39a & 40a?
