Fellows having little energy and fevers on Scottish island (10)
I believe the answer is:
colleagues
'fellows' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'little energy and fevers on scottish island' is the wordplay.
'little' indicates taking the first letters.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'fevers' becomes 'agues' (I've seen this in another clue).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'scottish island' becomes 'coll' (Isle of Coll).
The first letter of 'energy' is 'e'.
'e'+'agues' is 'eagues'.
'eagues' after 'coll' is 'COLLEAGUES'.
'having' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for colleagues that I've seen before include "Team mates" , "Business associates" , "Fellow workers" .)
