Celebrity directors make way for sailor (9)
I believe the answer is:
starboard
'way for sailor' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'celebrity directors' is the wordplay.
'celebrity' becomes 'star' (a star is a celebrity or famous person).
'directors' becomes 'board' (board of directors).
'star'+'board'='STARBOARD'
'make' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for starboard that I've seen before include "Ship's right side" , "Opposite of port" , "Right side at sea" , "One side of a ship" , "Sailor's right" .)
