Is society chap a misfit ? (9)
I believe the answer is:
oddfellow
'a misfit ?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'is society chap' is the wordplay.
'is society' becomes 'odd' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'chap' becomes 'fellow' (both can mean a man).
'odd'+'fellow'='ODDFELLOW'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oddfellow that I've seen before include "Member of fraternity" , "member of secret society" , "fraternal member" , "one of a fraternity" , "Member of friendly society (funny chap!)" .)
