People get this socially (8)
I believe the answer is:
together
'socially' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adverbs. Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for together that I've seen before include "Concertedly" , "at the same time" , "tied" , "without a break?" , "Level-headed" .)
