Confines within bounds rotationally, we hear (7)
I believe the answer is:
interns
'confines' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'within bounds rotationally we hear' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'within' could be 'in' and 'in' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'terns' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for interns that I've seen before include "Hospital residents" , "those confined" .)
