Child coming back to embrace crazy wanderers (6)
I believe the answer is:
nomads
'wanderers' is the definition.
(I know this)
'child coming back to embrace crazy' is the wordplay.
'child' becomes 'son' (male child).
'coming back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'to embrace' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'crazy' becomes 'mad' (synonyms).
'son' in reverse letter order is 'nos'.
'nos' placed around 'mad' is 'NOMADS'.
(Other definitions for nomads that I've seen before include "Wandering people, roaming tribes" , "Homeless types" , "Vagrant peoples" , "[DRIFTERS]" , "They travel from place to place with no permanent home" .)
