Discontented spy stops meeting shrinks and other experts (7,8)
I believe the answer is:
systems analysts
'other experts' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'discontented spy stops meeting shrinks' is the wordplay.
'discontented' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (the word's contents are removed).
'stops' becomes 'stems' (stemming is a kind of stopping).
'meeting' says to put letters next to each other.
'shrinks' becomes 'analysts' (shrink can informally mean a psychoanalyst).
'spy' with its middle taken out is 'sy'.
'sy'+'stems'+'analysts'='SYSTEMS ANALYSTS'
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for systems analysts that I've seen is " experts recommending changes?".)
