Nominally high-sounding fellow? (5)
I believe the answer is:
hyman
'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...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
