Irrelevant fellow? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

academic

This clue is a double definition.

'irrelevant' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fellow?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for academic that I've seen before include "Scholarly: hypothetical" , "Scholarly as opposed to practical (8)" , "Unimportant" , "Donnish" , "of educational kind" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
