European people, I'm told, can become vets (6)
I believe the answer is:
checks
'european people' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for checks that I've seen before include "Inspects" , "Controls to secure accuracy - may accompany balances" , "Examines in order to determine accuracy, etc." .)
