Fuss, palaver (3)
I believe the answer is:
ado
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'fuss' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'palaver' is the second definition.
(both can mean a fuss)
(Other definitions for ado that I've seen before include "Pother" , "puff ball!" , "stew is provided" , "Rapid bustling commotion" , "Busy activity, trouble" .)
