Domestic assistants frantically shop acquiring uninspiring Spanish article (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
home helps
'frantically shop acquiring uninspiring spanish article' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'domestic assistants' is the wordplay.
'domestic' becomes 'home' (similar in meaning).
'assistants' becomes 'helps' ('help' can be a synonym of 'assistant').
'home'+'helps'='HOME HELPS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for home helps that I've seen is " Carers".)
