Is there one of them per village? (6)
I believe the answer is:
idiots
'them per village?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'is there one of' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is located in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'dits' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for idiots that I've seen before include "Nincompoops" , "Fools, air-heads" , "imbeciles" , "clowns?" , "chumps" .)
