King splits trousers? They're in all across solutions here (6)
I believe the answer is:
rivers
'king splits' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both natural objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rivers that I've seen before include "Large natural streams of water" , "Thames and Hudson?" , "''Only Our ... Run Free'' (MacConnell ballad)" , "Comedienne Joan" , "''Only Our ... Run Free'' (McConnell ballad)" .)
