Joke with blokes, dividing faceless jet-set? (9)
I believe the answer is:
equipment
'set?' is the definition.
(set is a kind of equipment)
'joke with blokes dividing faceless jet' is the wordplay.
'joke with' becomes 'quip' (quipping is a kind of joking. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'blokes' becomes 'men' (I've seen this in another clue).
'dividing' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters divide the word).
'faceless' means to remove the first letter.
'quip'+'men'='quipmen'
'jet' with its initial letter taken away is 'et'.
'quipmen' placed within 'et' is 'EQUIPMENT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for equipment that I've seen before include "Apparatus, gear" , "4 [TACKLE]" , "outfit" , "fitting" , "Stuff" .)
