Characteristic of humour shown by fellow doctor (7)
I believe the answer is:
comedic
'characteristic of humour' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adjective which matches the answer.
'shown by fellow doctor' is the wordplay.
'shown by' says to put letters next to each other.
'fellow' becomes 'co' (eg a co-worker is a fellow worker).
'doctor' becomes 'medic' (doctor is a type of medic).
'co' next to 'medic' is 'COMEDIC'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for comedic that I've seen before include "description of light work in theatre" , "Amusing" , "Cheerfully entertaining" , "Humorous" , "Of humour" .)
