Knowing fellows who seem upset in victory? (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
wise men
'knowing fellows' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'seem upset in victory?' is the wordplay.
'upset' indicates an anagram.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'victory?' becomes 'win' (a win is a victory).
'seem' with letters rearranged gives 'seme'.
'seme' put inside 'win' is 'WISE MEN'.
'who' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wise men that I've seen before include "Bethlehem visitors" , "Astrologers" , "Magi" , "people up for spells?" .)
