Initially grand accommodation for stable men (6)
I believe the answer is:
grooms
'stable men' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'initially grand accommodation' is the wordplay.
'initially' suggests taking the first letters.
'accommodation' becomes 'rooms' (I've seen this before).
The first letter of 'grand' is 'g'.
'g'+'rooms'='GROOMS'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for grooms that I've seen before include "chaps getting a ring" , "Potential husbands" , "Stable-hands" , "Horse-tenders" , "Neatens; husbands to be" .)
