Extremely fine admiral totally generates strong allegiance (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fealty

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'allegiance' is the definition.
(I know that allegiance can be written as fealty)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fealty that I've seen before include "The loyalty that citizens owe their country" , "expression of commitment" , "Loyalty to feudal superior" , "Loyalty or allegiance as once to lord" , "Vassal's sworn loyalty to a lord (historical)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
