Like some poor overworked camels? (4)
I believe the answer is:
lame
'like' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'some poor overworked camels?' is the wordplay.
'some' means to look at the middle letters.
'poor' becomes 'ill' (I've seen this in another clue).
'overworked camels?' becomes 'ame' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
The central letter of 'ill' is 'l'.
'l'+'ame'='LAME'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lame that I've seen before include "Imperfect - material" , "Weak and unconvincing like injured foot" , "Disabled in the feet or legs" , "Rubbish" , "Walking with a limp" .)
