'little likelihood' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'of fellow getting opportunity' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'F' (abbreviation - of a society etc.).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'opportunity' becomes 'chance' (synonyms).
'of'+'f'+'chance'='OFFCHANCE'
