Fellow broke a drain (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adrian

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

'fellow' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'broke a drain' is the wordplay.
'broke' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'drain'='adrain'
'adrain' anagrammed gives 'ADRIAN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for adrian that I've seen before include "Boy's name" , "Man" , "-- Mole, Sue Townsend's creation" , "Boy" , "The Secret Diary of ... Mole, Aged 13? (Sue Townsend)" .)
