A perfect example with note used in thorough contract (11) A-R-N-E-E-T looks like ARRANGEMENT = contract but why?

Gem is perfect example, arrant is thorough and e is the note. Contract is the arrangement.
arrant + eg + me
That sounds better!
I think yours is better :)
They both work, though the 'perfect' has me veering back towards my version.

Thanks both
But Arrangement has two Ns. Arrant provides one, but where does the other one come from? It's a flawed clue, IMHO
THOROUGH =arrant
a perfect example = gem
note = E

so ARRAN(GEM+E)T
whoops, where is the N? tjmw may be correct
Perhaps a misprint and note should have been plural - E+N
A long shot, but maybe en = note seeing as the OED says 'en' is the letter N in writing. Unlikely, but possible.
