Like some poor overworked camels? (4)
I believe the answer is:
lame
'like' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'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 can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The middle 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" .)
