Agreeable writer's drawn into quarrel with name-dropping star (9)
I believe the answer is:
simpatico
'agreeable' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'writer's drawn into quarrel with name-dropping star' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'writer's' could be 'im' ('I am' referring to the writer of the clue) and 'im' is present in the answer.
'quarrel' could be 'spat' (spat is a kind of quarrel) and 'spat' is found in the remaining letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for simpatico that I've seen before include "Pleasant" , "Congenial company" , "Nice" , "pleasing" , "Likeable, easy to get on with" .)
