Alive? No colder (6)
I believe the answer is:
aswarm
'alive?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aswarm that I've seen before include "crowds everywhere" , "Crawling" , "Teeming" , "Crowded" , "Like bees often are" .)
