Inferior fellow to blossom (6)
I believe the answer is:
flower
'blossom' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'inferior fellow' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'inferior' could be 'lower' (synonyms) and 'lower' is located in the answer.
'fellow' could be 'f' (abbreviation - of a society etc.) and 'f' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for flower that I've seen before include "bloomer" , "Bloom" , "Blossom" , "Plant cultivated for blossoms" , "One found in bed perhaps" .)
