Charts men constructed as business people (9)
I believe the answer is:
merchants
'business people' is the definition.
'merchants' can be an answer for 'people' (merchant is a kind of person). I am not sure about the 'business' bit.
'charts men constructed' is the wordplay.
'constructed' indicates an anagram.
'charts'+'men'='chartsmen'
'chartsmen' with letters rearranged gives 'MERCHANTS'.
'as' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for merchants that I've seen before include "Business people engaged in trade" , "Retail traders" , "They buy and sell" , "Traders in large quantities" .)
