A fair amount of mink in coat tailored for an energetic type (6)
I believe the answer is:
atomic
'mink in coat tailored for an energetic type' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'a fair amount' is the wordplay.
'fair' becomes 'tomi' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'amount' becomes 'c' (C is an example).
'a'+'tomi'+'c'='ATOMIC'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for atomic that I've seen before include "Like nuclear energy" , "Extremely minute" , "Referring to a tiny particle" , "Relating to nuclear energy" , "nuclear issues?" .)
