Circus attraction features teams in what way? (8)
I believe the answer is:
sideshow
'circus' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'teams in what way?' is the wordplay.
'teams' becomes 'sides' (eg football sides).
'in what way?' becomes 'how' (synonyms).
'sides'+'how'='SIDESHOW'
'attraction features' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sideshow that I've seen before include "Subordinate issue" , "Stall at a fair or circus" , "affair at a fair" , "Activity subordinate to a larger one" , "Unimportant" .)
