Comfortable accommodation for some honest souls (5)
I believe the answer is:
nests
'comfortable accommodation for some honest souls' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'some honest souls' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some parts of the word are used).
'NESTS' can be found hidden inside 'honest souls'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nests that I've seen before include "Settles comfortably into, as birds do" , "Structures for laying eggs" , "Cosy secluded retreats" , "Structures for egg-laying" , "Birds' homes" .)
