Executive committee receives note about way of feeling as others do (8)
I believe the answer is:
empathic
'executive' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are adjectives, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'committee receives note about way of feeling as others do' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'note' could be 'e' (musical note) and 'e' is found in the answer.
'about' could be 'c' (abbreviation for 'circa') and 'c' is located in the answer.
'way' could be 'path' (path is a kind of way) and 'path' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'mi' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for empathic that I've seen before include "Understanding others' feelings" , "showing rapport" , "Sensitive to the experiences of others" , "Feeling" , "Emotionally sensitive" .)
