Feeble fellow always falling down? (4)
I believe the answer is:
drip
'feeble fellow always falling down?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with motion as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'down?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'down?' could be 'd' and 'd' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'rip' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drip that I've seen before include "Sissy" , "Weak and ineffectual person" , "Fall in droplets -- weedy person" , "Fall in small droplets as from tap" , "Trickle -- weakling" .)
