Fifty stick around, looking far from pleased (4)
I believe the answer is:
glum
'looking far from pleased' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'fifty stick around' is the wordplay.
'fifty' becomes 'L' (Roman numeral).
'stick' becomes 'gum' (gum can mean to glue or stick).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'l' put inside 'gum' is 'GLUM'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for glum that I've seen before include "Sad and gloomy" , "Melancholy" , "Dispirited, moody" , "Po-faced" , "In low spirits" .)
