African transport workers getting out of breath? (7)
I believe the answer is:
bushmen
'african transport workers getting out of breath?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'transport workers getting out of breath?' is the wordplay.
'transport' becomes 'bus' (bus is a kind of transport).
'workers' becomes 'men' (men can mean staff or employees).
'getting out of' means one lot of letters goes inside another (to be outside something can mean to be around it).
'breath?' becomes 'h' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'bus'+'men'='busmen'
'busmen' going around 'h' is 'BUSHMEN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bushmen that I've seen before include "Africans possibly" , "Traditional nomadic hunter-gatherers of southern Africa" .)
