Heard what's used to fiddle objects of desire (5)
I believe the answer is:
beaux
'objects of desire' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for beaux that I've seen before include "French boyfriends" , "Old-fashioned boy friends" , "Boy admirers" , "Dandies (French style)" , "Male admirers" .)
