Not worth considering sample after friend (6)
I believe the answer is:
paltry
'not worth considering' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'sample after friend' is the wordplay.
'sample' becomes 'try' (synonyms).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'friend' becomes 'pal' (pal is a kind of friend).
'try' after 'pal' is 'PALTRY'.
(Other definitions for paltry that I've seen before include "not worth considering" , "Mean - trifling" , "Trival, Inconsequential" , "Insignificant, trifling" , "Petty - base" .)
