Did acts misguidedly for fans (7)
I believe the answer is:
addicts
'fans' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'did acts misguidedly' is the wordplay.
'misguidedly' indicates an anagram.
'did'+'acts'='didacts'
'didacts' with letters rearranged gives 'ADDICTS'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for addicts that I've seen before include "Habitual drug users" , "Junkies" , "People with compulsive ailments as for drugs" , "People who are hooked" .)
