Not involved with many fools (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

simpletons

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

'fools' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'not involved with many' is the wordplay.
'not involved' becomes 'simple' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'many' becomes 'tons' (tons of something).
'simple'+'tons'='SIMPLETONS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for simpletons that I've seen is " gulls".)
