Fellow like a certain piper is followed (6)
I believe the answer is:
copied
'followed' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with creating things as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'fellow like a certain piper' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'co' (eg a co-worker is a fellow worker).
'like a certain piper' becomes 'pied-' (I've seen this in another clue).
'co'+'pied'='COPIED'
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for copied that I've seen before include "made a transcript" , "Imitated, reproduced" , "most sincerely flattered" , "Imitated or replicated" , "Reproduced (something)" .)
