Fellow taking lady's coat in a tender manner (6)
I believe the answer is:
gently
'in a tender manner' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'fellow taking lady's coat' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'gent' (synonyms).
'taking' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'coat' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (only the letters which coat the word are used).
'lady' with its centre removed is 'ly'.
'gent'+'ly'='GENTLY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gently that I've seen before include "Not violently" , "in a peaceful manner?" , "In mild and moderate manner, not in rough way" , "Mildly, kindly" , "In a mild/kind manner" .)
