Like busybodies (4)
I believe the answer is:
nosy
'like busybodies' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for nosy that I've seen before include "Showing too much curiosity about people's affairs" , "Intrusive in nasal way" , "Inclined to poke into other people's affairs" , "Over-inquisitive" , "Prying, snoopy" .)
