It means "left-overs" or "crumbs". "Do you want my ort?" "Eat up your ort." "I'll clear away the ort." etc. It's short and lovely.

All done in 15 minutes with no recourse to dictionaries or other aids. I didn't have any problem with BLUT. Nice relief after yesterday’s.

The order of the A D in Andromeda worried me a bit too but 'with' can mean either way, I guess, though I'd not like to be faced with such a choice on a regular basis. While you do not see it often in the daily cryptics I think convention has established "bit of , shred of" etc etc as the first letter of the word. Enjoyed this puzzle, good as always from Phi.

AND/ ROME/ A/D

which is slightly pedantic of me, as ‘one’ (the second A) WITH ’shred of doubt’ (the D presumably - although you could, one supposes, choose from all 5 ’shreds’) doesn’t necessarily specify an order.
