Bassline composed for gay women (8)
I believe the answer is:
lesbians
'gay women' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'bassline composed' is the wordplay.
'composed' is an anagram indicator.
'bassline' with letters rearranged gives 'LESBIANS'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for lesbians that I've seen is " islanders".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
