Howler monkeys finally to get some bread (8)
I believe the answer is:
bloomers
'howler' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'monkeys finally to get some bread' is the wordplay.
'monkeys finally' becomes 's' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'some bread' becomes 'bloomer' (type of loaf of bread).
's' put after 'bloomer' is 'BLOOMERS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bloomers that I've seen before include "displayed in bed" , "Loose-fitting knickers" , "Undergarments popularised by Amelia" , "made by clothing manufacturers" , "of bakers, gardeners and > underwear suppliers?" .)
