Not much of a melee? (5)
I believe the answer is:
scrap
This clue could be a double definition.
'not much' is the first definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'a melee?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scrap that I've seen before include "Axe" , "Informal fight for waste material" , "Discard; fight" , "Small amount; fight" , "Tussle over junk metal?" .)
