Taking time for one humble intellectual (6)
I believe the answer is:
mental
'intellectual' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)
'taking time for one humble' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'time' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is found in the answer.
'one' could be 'me' (a setter might use 'one' to humourously mean 'me') and 'me' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mental that I've seen before include "Done in the mind" , "Involving the mind" , "Intellectual" , "off trolley" , "Cognitive" .)
