Gather middle class emblems (8)
I believe the answer is:
assemble
'gather' is the definition.
(I know that gather can be written as assemble)
'middle class emblems' is the wordplay.
'ASSEMBLE' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am not sure how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for assemble that I've seen before include "Gather or congregate together" , "Gather together at meeting place" , "Collect in one place" , "Manufacture" , "Come or bring group together" .)
