English people at discos -- they make an impression (9)
I believe the answer is:
engravers
'discos they make an impression' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.
'english people' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'eng' (abbreviation).
'people' becomes 'ravers' (raver is a kind of person).
'eng'+'ravers'='ENGRAVERS'
'at' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for engravers that I've seen is " They impress".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
