Marauders finding horsemen hold answer (7)
I believe the answer is:
raiders
'marauders' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'horsemen hold answer' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'answer' could be 'a' (abbreviation eg in Q and A) and 'a' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'riders' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'finding' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for raiders that I've seen before include "Attacking force" , "' - - of the Lost Ark'" , "Marauding attackers" , "Marauders" .)
