Marionettes (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

puppets

'marionettes' is the definition.
('puppet' can be a synonym of 'marionette')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for puppets that I've seen before include "Marionettes" , "They're operated from above with strings" , "Stringfellows?" , "Dolls on strings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Guardian.
