Fuss at a social gathering? (3)
I believe the answer is:
ado
'fuss' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'at a social gathering?' is the wordplay.
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'social gathering?' becomes 'do' (party, social gathering of people. I am not sure about the 'social' bit.).
'a' next to 'do' is 'ADO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ado that I've seen before include "stew is provided" , "Fuss, difficulty" , "Goings-on" , "carry-on" , "Busy activity, trouble" .)
