Characters get the bends (5)
I believe the answer is:
esses
'the bends' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for esses that I've seen before include "Links" , "letters" .)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
