Crossword Genius

Fellow feeling pity perhaps (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sympathy

This clue is a double definition.

'fellow feeling' is the first definition.
(I know that fellow feeling can be written as sympathy)

'pity perhaps' is the second definition.
(pity is a kind of sympathy)

(Other definitions for sympathy that I've seen before include "Fellow feeling, understanding" , "this could follow tea" , "Pity; common feeling" , "Compassion (coming with tea)" , "agreement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
