Gardener is throwing out some guards (10)
I believe the answer is:
grenadiers
'out some guards' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'gardener is throwing' is the wordplay.
'throwing' is an anagram indicator (letters get thrown around).
'gardener'+'is'='gardeneris'
'gardeneris' with letters rearranged gives 'GRENADIERS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
