Compensation for people in advertising (6)
I believe the answer is:
amends
'compensation' is the definition.
(amends is a kind of compensation)
'people in advertising' is the wordplay.
'people' becomes 'men' (men are people).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'advertising' becomes 'ads' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'men' going into 'ads' is 'AMENDS'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for amends that I've seen before include "Changes for the better" , "Sad men (anag.)" , "Makes changes, to a text say" , "Alters, makes right" , "Make these to make up for past wrongs" .)
