Another way to say you desert many... (9)
I believe the answer is:
thousands
'many' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'another way to say you desert' is the wordplay.
'another way' becomes 'tho' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to say' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'desert' becomes 'sands' (I've seen this in another clue).
'you' is a homophone of 'u'.
'tho'+'u'+'sands'='THOUSANDS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for thousands that I've seen before include "a lot" , "1000s" , "Crowds" , "large sum?" , "Dan shouts out at many hundreds" .)
