Is Santa confused about saint and devil-worshippers? (9)
I believe the answer is:
satanists
'devil-worshippers?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'is santa confused about saint' is the wordplay.
'confused' is an anagram indicator.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'saint' becomes 'st'.
'is'+'santa'='issanta'
'issanta' is an anagram of 'satanis'.
'satanis' going around 'st' is 'SATANISTS'.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
