Losing sides abuse coach (3)
I believe the answer is:
bus
'coach' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'losing sides abuse' is the wordplay.
'BUS' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am unsure how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bus that I've seen before include "Public service vehicle" , "Charabanc" , "Use transport" , "Of projectiles; (go) mad (slang)" , "Coach" .)
