Crossword Genius

Acrobats in glasses (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tumblers

This clue is a double definition.

'acrobats' is the first definition.
('tumbler' can be a synonym of 'acrobat')

'glasses?' is the second definition.
(tumbler is a kind of glass)

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for tumblers that I've seen before include "circus acts?" , "gymnasts" , "Glasses with flat bottom and no handle or stem" , "Pigeons" , "Acrobats and drinking vessels" .)

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