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

'nominally high-sounding' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'fellow?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'fellow?' could be 'man' (fellow is a kind of man) and 'man' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
