Discontented court warned poorly paid attendees (4-1-5)
I believe the answer is:
rent-a-crowd
'paid attendees' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'discontented court warned poorly' is the wordplay.
'discontented' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (the word's contents are removed).
'poorly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'court' with its middle taken out is 'cort'.
'cort'+'warned'='cortwarned'
'cortwarned' anagrammed gives 'RENT-A-CROWD'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
