I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the virtue' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'of this fellow is domesticity' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'WISDOM' can be found hidden inside 'this fellow is domesticity'.

Can you help me to learn more?
