Battle edgy doctors for rooms in hospital (5)
I believe the answer is:
wards
'rooms in hospital' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'battle edgy doctors' is the wordplay.
'battle' becomes 'war' (armed conflict).
'edgy doctors' becomes 'ds' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'war'+'ds'='WARDS'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wards that I've seen before include "Hospital rooms" , "Hospital divisions" , "Charges" .)
