English fellow picked up message (5)
I believe the answer is:
'message' is the definition.
(email is a type of message)
'english fellow picked up' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'fellow' becomes 'liam' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'picked up' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'liam' backwards is 'mail'.
'e'+'mail'='EMAIL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for email that I've seen before include "Messages via the internet" , "Digital message" , "Messages between computer terminals" , "Post" , "Electronic message" .)
