Cool fellow — a bloated bachelor — gets ditched (8)
I believe the answer is:
fabulous
'cool' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'fellow a bloated bachelor gets ditched' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'fellow' could be 'f' (abbreviation - of a society etc.) and 'f' is present in the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
'bachelor' could be 'b' (abbreviation e.g. BA=Bachelor of Arts) and 'b' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fabulous that I've seen before include "Legendary or incredibly great" , "Extremely pleasing" , "Legendary or informally marvellous" , "Legendary or wonderful" , "Extraordinary; wonderful; mythical" .)
