Failures as schoolteachers? (6)
I believe the answer is:
misses
This could be a double definition.
'failures' is the first definition.
(I know this)
'schoolteachers?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'as' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for misses that I've seen before include "Fails to hit the target" , "Fails to meet" , "Doesn't hit; young ladies" , "Failures to hit" , "Overlooks" .)
