German fellow’s delight (4)

I believe the answer is:

glee

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'delight' is the definition.
(glee can mean great joy)

'german fellow's' is the wordplay.
'german' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'fellow' becomes 'lee' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'g'+'lee'='GLEE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for glee that I've seen before include "Great delight; part song" , "Merriment or gloating" , "Impish enjoyment" , "Joy; part-song" , "Old English part-song" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
