Monitors from East End schools in conversation (4)
I believe the answer is:
eyes
'conversation' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
'monitors from east end schools in' is the wordplay.
'monitors from east' becomes 'ye' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'end' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (I've seen 'ends' mean this).
'schools' becomes 'edifies' (I've seen this before).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'edifies' with its middle removed is 'es'.
'ye' put into 'es' is 'EYES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eyes that I've seen before include "Spots on a peacock's tail" , "Peacock's tail markings" , "Are they made to suggest possible date" , "Narrowly watches" , "Peepers" .)
