Follower often of status with odd requirement for meeting (6)
I believe the answer is:
quorum
'for meeting' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'follower often of status with odd requirement' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
'odd' could be 'rum' (rum can mean strange or dubious) and 'rum' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for quorum that I've seen before include "Number of members required for valid committee meeting" , "Sufficient number present" , "Minimal amount required" , "Minimum permissible attendance" , "Minimum required number of members present for conducting business" .)
