Can they arrange resale at the trading centre? (7)
I believe the answer is:
dealers
'can they' is the definition.
The definition suggests a plural noun which matches the answer.
'arrange resale at the trading centre?' is the wordplay.
'arrange' indicates an anagram.
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'centre?' means to look at the middle letters (I've seen 'centred' mean this).
The centre of 'trading' is 'd'.
'resale' with letters rearranged gives 'ealers'.
'ealers' put after 'd' is 'DEALERS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dealers that I've seen before include "Traders in goods and currencies" , "handing out cards" , "Traders -- leaders (anag)" , "Merchants" .)
