villainous

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

'wicked' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'bad character got round you and me' is the wordplay.
'bad character' becomes 'villain' (villain is a kind of character. I am not sure about the 'bad' bit.).
'got' says to put letters next to each other.
'round' becomes 'o' (o is a circular letter).
'you and me' becomes 'us'.
'villain'+'o'+'us'='VILLAINOUS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for villainous that I've seen before include "Nasty" , "dramatically bad" , "really bad" , "criminal" , "very unpleasant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
