Cheat people (5)
I believe the answer is:
welsh
This clue might be a double definition.
'cheat' is the first definition.
(I know that welsh is a type of cheat)
'people' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I can't understand how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for welsh that I've seen before include "and 14 Down: Melted cheese on toast" , "From Swansea, say?" , "So-called rabbit" , "Of bookie, decamp without paying out winnings" , "Native to, eg, Cardiff" .)
