Stuffy fellow possibly cuddled a lot (5)
I believe the answer is:
teddy
'a lot' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'stuffy fellow possibly cuddled' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'fellow' could be 'eddy' (I've seen this before) and 'eddy' is located in the answer.
A single letter 't' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for teddy that I've seen before include "Cuddly toy" , "Stuffed toy" , "A child's toy bear" , "Type of bear" , "plaything" .)
